Facial recognitionAbstract
Facial recognition technology is one of the most widespread ways of verifying identity. The development of artificial intelligence and the need for greater security and convenience has prompted researchers and software companies to develop new ways of verifying a person's identity.
On the internet until nowadays the most common way of authenticating a user of an application was through personal ID and password. One of the main disadvantages of this method was related to the security aspect as it was possible to break personal passwords relatively easily. Still, authentication using facial recognition technologies greatly facilitated the verification process as no personal passwords were now required but only a photo or activation of the device's camera.
Facial recognition technology has been developing rapidly in recent years. Along with it, questions are developing regarding its implementation and how it may affect fundamental rights such as privacy, data protection and civil liberties.
This thesis presents an identity verification solution using facial recognition technology. Specifically, it uses the approach provided through FaceTec's SDK.
The application consists of an authentication system that requires the user to be registered in the system using his/her face so that the user can be verified. The application compares the user's face with the photo stored during the user's registration. If the verification is successfully performed the user is logged into the application.
