Face recognition or facial recognition systems is applications for identifying or verifying persons from a digital image, video frame or video source. This require that you have a large facial database.
A couple of facial recognition algorithms are eigenface, fisherface and the neuronal dynamic link matching. The most modern technology is the three-dimensional face recognition which is seemed to be the most accurate method that is currently available.
Some things that are measured in face recognition are:
- Distance between the eyes
- Nose width
- Depth of the eye sockets

Facial recognition was used at Super Bowl Tampa Bay, 2001, to search for criminals and terrorists attending the event. They found 19 people that was pending arrest warrants.
