Abstract

Face recognition technology is a very important part of modern technology, which can not only be used to ensure security, but also can be used in the field of information organization and content division. However, with the popularization and application of face recognition technology, many problems that need to be solved urgently have emerged: excessive computing resources are consumed in order to pursue high-precision recognition, which brings computing pressure; The basis for improving recall is the need for a lot of power and memory; If security is not guaranteed, it can cause problems such as data breaches. The demand for face recognition technology is different in different use fields, so the purpose of this study is to combine the scene requirements and technical advantages more reasonably. The research results are as follows: the high accuracy and recall rate of 3D convolutional neural networks (3DCNNs) ensure that it can be used safely in high-precision and high-security scenarios. Lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (MobileNetV2) is suitable for resource-constrained environments due to its low memory consumption and low communication cost. Edge computing real-time face recognition (EC-RFERNet) is the most suitable for large-scale popularization and application among the three because of its lowest power consumption and latency. This study deeply explores the advantages and disadvantages of different facial recognition technologies and finds solutions to their shortcomings. According to their unique advantages combined with the requirements of commonly used scenarios, it provides a scientific basis for the deployment of face recognition technology in different fields. However, due to limited information, this paper cannot cover all application scenarios and the latest technologies, so it is hoped that in the future, we can combine the advantages of different technologies to develop more comprehensive face recognition technology and make more reasonable technical planning.
