 Face Recognition
Face recognition is a computer app
that is capable of detecting,
tracking, identifying or
verifying human faces from an
image or video capturing using
a digital camera.
It is a technique used by
computer algorithms to
identify or verify a
person or an object
through images.
It is a technology capable of
recognizing a person based
on their face.
It is one of the leading
biometric technologies.
Why over other biometrics?
Face Recognition is
non-intrusive method
by identifying
individuals by the
feature of faces.
It is grounded in machine learning
algorithms which capture, store and
analyze facial features in order to match
them with images of individuals in a
pre-existing database and, often,
information about them in that

 Face Detection
Before recognizing a face, it is first essential to detect and extract the faces from the original pictures. For
recognizing a face, the algorithms compare only faces. Any other element in the picture that is not part of a
face deteriorates the recognition. There are several existing algorithms for detecting faces.
1. Haar-cascade classifier
2. Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG)

 Pre-processing of Pictures
Most of the algorithms for facial recognition require the same size for the entire training set. But not all the pictures
have the same zoom on the face and have maybe not all the same size. Pre-processing includes different modifications.

First of all, the faces need The aim is to have the

 Conclusion
Generally, Facial recognition is the process of identifying or verifying the identity of a person using their face. It
captures, analyzes, and compares patterns based on the person's facial details. Facial biometrics continues to be the
preferred biometric benchmark.

Like most innovations that have come before it, facial recognition technology has caused a stir. Applications of
facial recognition in Ethiopia constantly grow and after a few decades it might be a part of every aspect of our
life. Facial recognition in Ethiopia have been using in a many sectors such as Bank, hospital , and etc.

Like it or not, facial recognition systems are here to stay. They will keep us safer and make other parts of our
lives more interactive. Although the technology is young and not perfect , companies like FaceX look to improve
ourselves every day to serve up nothing but the best to customers and the general public.

We may not be psychic and we can’t tell what the future holds, but it looks bright and that is where we are headed.
