Talk:Facial recognition system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is it called, identifying smiles, vs. frowns, vs. excitement, vs. someone sticking their tongue out?

Where you're not so interested in identifying the individual, but in identifying the individual's expression?

I would say that it would be a "facial expression recognition system". violet/riga (t) 11:42, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reliability

The reliability of a "Facial Recognition System", as with any other system intended to compare physical characteristics of specified objects depends on at least the following factors --

1. The amount of money to be dedicated to the development;

2. The amount of time to be dedicated to the development;

3. The allowable cost of the final equipment -- single-unit or serial production;

4. The quality of the reference sample to be compared;

5. The amount of time available for the comparison to be produced;

6. The other circumstances of the comparison -- lighting, stealth, etc.

When these and other similar factors which have not been enumerated here are specified and accepted by all parties to the development, a system can be built to offer an arbitrary degree of satisfaction to the user.

Basically, it is all money & time.

It is how the world works : Even the Pharoahs understood this and acted on it, indeed they did, not to mention the erectors of the giant heads on Easter Island.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 162.42.84.59 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Pharaoh's slaves and Easter Island's large stone heads weren't paid for by money

Not to nitpick or anything, but the Pharoahs had a large slave population, far more than they needed. Also, if you are refering to the pyramids, that was done mostly by religious fanatics from some reports, and they probably weren't paid much at all, if anything. Just something to do when not busy in the farming seasons.

And did they use money or care about time at Easter Island? They didn't plan things out at all, which is why they ran out of trees, and then had to stop their insane building of giant stone heads for no reason, and find a new religion. Dream Focus 01:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

May I suggest you have a look at Wikipedia:Talk_page#Formatting? Now let's get back on topic... --oKtosiTe talk 20:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Civil Liberties & Facial Recognition Software cited soure missing

The source of Civil Liberties & Facial Recognition Software has disappeared. --oKtosiTe talk 20:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US Visit

What about US-VISIT and the new biometric passports? From what I understand, these are a major new application of face recognition.

[edit] Consumer computer biometric

The new Lenovo L3000 Y410 laptop has this feature. I have no idea how well it works nor how many other Lenovo laptops have this feature, but it totally freaked me out when I saw it. :) 205.157.110.11 21:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I heard that the Lenovo/IBM tech is the same they had ten years ago [1]. There are other options as well, including a popular freeware application called LemonScreen available at KeyLemon[2] (formerly BananaScreen). I think there should be a separate section for consumer use of this technology as associated links and perhaps a comparison of apps (or maybe there is and I can't find it).
