What is Biometric Surveillance and Facial recognition?

What will be an ideal response?


Biometric surveillance refers to technologies that analyze human physical and/or behavioral characteristics for authentication, identification, or screening purposes. Examples of physical characteristics include DNA, facial patterns, and fingerprints.

Facial recognition is the use of the unique configuration of a person’s facial features to accurately identify that person, typically from surveillance video. Another form of behavioral biometrics, based on affective computing, involves computers recognizing people’s emotional state based on an analysis of their facial expressions, how fast they are talking, the tone and pitch of their voice, their posture, and other behavioral traits. A more recent development is DNA fingerprinting, which looks at some of the major markers in the body’s DNA to pro- duce a match.
