- Biometrics: A Look at Facial Recognition
- Biometrics is used for human recognition which consists of identification and verification. The terms differ significantly. With identification, the biometric system asks and attempts to answer the question, "Who is X?" In an identification application, the biometric device reads a sample and compares that sample against every record or template...
