Abstract

This paper analyses the main technologies for face recognition, a critical biometric tool for identity verification and security across various sectors. A comprehensive overview of traditional and modern facial recognition technologies will be provided, examining their key features such as age, pose, and illumination. The study discusses the evolution and current state of facial recognition, highlighting significant advancements and applications in recent years. The objective is to offer a detailed understanding of how these technologies function and their implications for security and identity verification.

Keywords

face recognition, biometrics, neural networks, applications.
