What is facial recognition?

Facial recognition is a biometric technology that identifies or verifies individuals based on their facial features or patterns. It involves capturing and analyzing images or video frames of faces using specialized algorithms to match them against stored templates or databases of known identities. Facial recognition systems are used in various applications, including security and surveillance, access control, authentication, and personalized user experiences. While offering convenience and efficiency, facial recognition also raises privacy and ethical concerns related to data protection, surveillance, and potential misuse of personal information.
