Facial Recognition Technology is a type of software that can identify or verify a person’s identity using their facial features. It works by analyzing the unique patterns of a person's face, such as the distance between their eyes or the shape of their jawline. This technology is commonly used in security systems, smartphones, and social media platforms to enhance user experience and safety. The process typically involves capturing an image of a face, converting it into a digital format, and comparing it to a database of known faces. Applications of this technology include law enforcement, access control, and photo tagging on social media sites like Facebook.
