Global Facial Recognition Market By Technology (2D Facial Recognition, 3D Facial Recognition, Facial Analytics), Component (Hardware - Scanners, Camera, Handheld, Integrated Devices; Software), Application (Homeland security Application, Criminal Investigation Application, ID management Application, Physical security Application, Intelligent signage Application, Web application, Business intelligence Application, Photo indexing and sorting Application)

Facial recognition is a biometric security system that identifies a person from a digital image or video frame. Unlike fingerprints and iris recognition, the facial recognition system focuses on the facial features of a person. Facial features such as cheek bones, and the distance between eyes, and eye-brows are the factors that are used to differentiate customers; therefore, the need for physical contact of the subject for identification is not necessary. The facial recognition technology, though being relatively new, can be integrated into the existing surveillance systems. The significant factor driving the growth of the facial recognition market is the continuously growing investment into surveillance systems worldwide. Rising incidences of terror attacks have significantly influenced the need for surveillance systems in public places.

The facial recognition technology is now integrated into the surveillance systems for better safety and security. However, due to privacy concerns such as misuse of personal information and data cloning can be a major restraining factor that would hinder the growth of the facial recognition market. Also, these systems can be less accurate and not very reliable when compared to fingerprint and iris recognition security systems. Nevertheless, with ongoing advancements in the facial recognition algorithms, significant growth would be witnessed during the forecast period. The report highlights the adoption of Facial Recognition.
