Face recognition has become the hottest word in the field of technology. In recent years, there are many app softwares that use face recognition technology to let everyone experience the experience of brushing face. In the field of biometrics development, the potential of face recognition is the most prominent. Many research teams are also committed to combining the technology of face recognition with the application of scenes in our lives to truly serve the people.
In recent years, the application of biometrics in the financial and Internet fields has received unprecedented attention. Face recognition is being widely used in government, military, banking, social welfare, e-commerce, security and defense, and financial and Internet giants have increased their codes. Face recognition.
What is face recognition technology?
The research of face recognition system began in the 1960s. After the 1980s, with the development of computer technology and optical imaging technology, the application phase that really entered the primary stage was in the late 90s, and it was in the United States, Germany, and Japan. Technology is the mainstay. Nowadays, the application of face recognition technology is not limited to business places. It has gradually penetrated into the ordinary people's home in the form of various smart homes.
There are many kinds of face recognition technologies. The first is the initial level, also known as face detection, which is used on the camera of the mobile phone to automatically focus on the face when taking pictures. The second type is the face part class, which distinguishes the facial texture, but the information that can be judged is also limited. Other face recognition technologies have more complex usage scenarios. For example, some software uses face recognition technology for user identity verification, and activates a computer or mobile phone when the camera captures a confirmation screen. The most alarming thing for the public is the face recognition function used to detect the identity of an unknown user—that is, matching the face data and identity data in the database.
Unlike the network terminal code that can be digitized, any account and password can be changed by verification, and the face recognition data is completely different. The face data is the same as other bio data of the public user, and the cost is very high. Sometimes it is even impossible. In a sense, face recognition becomes a "data link" that all of us can't escape.
Wide application prospects
In recent years, the application of biometrics in the financial and Internet fields has received unprecedented attention. Face recognition is being widely used in government, military, banking, social welfare, e-commerce, security and defense, and financial and Internet giants have increased their codes. Face recognition.
Since last year, the face has been cashed in, and the face has been actively promoted. Ali and Tencent have successively launched the face payment plan. On March 26 this year, Beijing 2016 high-level sports team enrollment unified test for the first time enabled face recognition technology to verify candidates. Identity. It is foreseeable that with the maturity of technology and the increasing demand for private information and security, face recognition technology will be widely used in related fields.
According to the Industrial Securities Research Report, in the Internet era, the value of face recognition technology cannot be underestimated. With the continuous innovation of business models, the potential market for face recognition in the world exceeds one trillion. Due to its large population base and high Internet popularity, China's face recognition technology is leading the world, and it will become the main battlefield in the field of face recognition. The potential market size in the future will exceed 100 billion. Internet finance and security fields will become the pioneers of the face recognition application outbreak. Internet finance services can be authenticated through the method of “remote face recognition ID card verification”, which can effectively solve the face-to-face problem. Face recognition technology is expected to become the Internet financial industry. In the security field, the face is bound to significantly improve work efficiency, reduce security management costs, and has excellent application prospects.
Domestic biometric industry transition to face recognition
The domestic biometrics market is relatively simple, and the fingerprint recognition technology is too concentrated. The market share of fingerprint recognition technology products is almost the sum of other biometric technologies, that is, about 50%. Fingerprint recognition has the lowest threshold among many biometric technologies, so it has been developed first. However, as a contact recognition technology, fingerprint collection heads are often easily damaged and need to be replaced regularly; about 5% of people have shallow fingerprints and are difficult to collect; plus fingerprint recognition has higher requirements for position, so it tends to be higher. The anti-true rate, the above factors limit the future development of fingerprint recognition, which brings development opportunities for face recognition.
Compared with fingerprint recognition technology, face recognition has higher precision and is a non-contact recognition technology, which is more convenient and quicker to operate. In terms of promotion, the current common camera can be used as a sensor. Face recognition mainly relies on face recognition software and algorithms. The common camera can be used as a sensor for collecting face information. The cost is relatively low and the customer is more acceptable.
Based on the above characteristics, face recognition will replace fingerprint recognition in the next stage of the biometrics industry to usher in rapid development. At present, China's face recognition technology has been used in banking institutions, Internet financial platforms and so on. It is expected that the face recognition market will explode rapidly. By 2015, the market size of China's face recognition industry will reach 7.5 billion yuan, and the potential market size in the future will exceed 100 billion.
In general, with the development of the times and the continuous advancement of technology, biometrics will also usher in new changes and demands. The intersection of biometrics technology and the Internet and the Internet of Things will become the focus of various industries. The current single biometric technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is inevitable that there will be problems in the application. Perhaps the future biometric identification technology will be diversified and developed to complement each other, and the market prospect of biometrics technology is still worthy of attention.
