Face recognition biometrics The biological identification of a person. Examples are face, iris and retinal patterns, hand geometry and voice. Increasingly built into laptop computers, fingerprint readers have become popular as a secure method for identification.  is striving to overcome performance inefficiencies and dispel skepticism skepticism (skĕp`tĭsĭzəm) [Gr.,=to reflect], philosophic position holding that the possibility of knowledge is limited either because of the limitations of the mind or because of the inaccessibility of its object.  regarding its ability to meet the demands posed by emerging applications.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (www.autoID.frost.com), World Face Recognition Biometrics Market, reveals that this market totaled revenues worth $21.5 million in 2002 and is poised to expand to $791.8 million by 2009.

"Face recognition performs optimally in controlled conditions such as proper lighting conditions, consistent angle of image capture and facial orientation, but has performance issues in uncontrolled situations," say Frost & Sullivan Lead Biometrics Analyst Prianka Chopra and Research Analyst Deep Mehra.

However, recent technological advances encourage face recognition biometrics deployment. There has been a marked improvement in the performance and reliability of this technology over the last couple of years due to increased emphasis by manufacturers on improving accuracy. 3D face recognition technology also offers an improvement in accuracy.

Mandates are boosting adoption in areas such as travel related security, especially in immigration immigration, entrance of a person (an alien) into a new country for the purpose of establishing permanent residence. Motives for immigration, like those for migration generally, are often economic, although religious or political factors may be very important.  and visa documentations.

Since this market is still in its initial growth stage, it requires higher levels of investment to boost growth, as well as marketing and branding efforts to solve the dual purpose of creating demand and generating awareness in the market.

 products to safeguard their assets, very little actual implementation has been carried out.

"The face recognition market is mainly driven by government and law enforcement application segments and with most developing economies experiencing difficult fiscal situations, funds earmarked for large-scale biometrics projects have been either frozen or delayed," adds Mehra.

The need of the hour is to educate consumers about the actual performance parameters of these technology implementations to give a more accurate account of face recognition technology's abilities and dispel unreal expectations.
