Essays on Facial Recognition

The use of biometric evidence in executing criminal justice has gained reputation throughout the world as a result of rapid advancement in technology. In essence, biometric recognition entails the use of biometric equipment to recognize individuals through their biological characteristics (Sanders et al., 2010). Bio information of a person is captured and analyzed for use in identification. Some examples of bio information include fingerprint and signatures. A biometric evidence is the most popular and convincing method of confirming the identity of a person (Reedman, 2015). The criminal justice system uses different biometric characteristics to identify criminals depending on the ...

Global security issues have forced many countries all over the world to focus into their security plans and programs in order to continue keeping their people safe. Along with the traditional methods already being implemented, technology has offered more opportunities to further improve the system. However, a closer look at how people in authority are doing things now pushes one to take a step back and rethink what these measures are for. This same sentiment is the crust of Wendy Kaminer’s article titled ”Trading Liberty for Illusions,” published on Chapter 4, pages 397-399, of the book Writing in ...

The quest to accurately identify a person as a means of either corroborating a person’s statement that they are who they say they are, or in determining who a person is exactly is an ancient endeavor. To be sure, over one thousand years ago, the Chinese used ink and thumbprints as a means of verifying the authorships of books (Rudman & Inman, 2002). As our understanding of identifying principles became more advanced, the benefits of their use in criminal justice such as to help identify who the victim was, or who was present at the scene of a crime. ...

“Biometrics” is a term used to refer to “life measurement.” Biometrics is a technology used for verifying authenticity (Stanoevska-Slabeva, 2011). It uses either behavioral features or biological traits to identify or recognize individuals. In actual sense, Biometric system translates to a system of pattern identification which makes use of various biological characteristics such as facial recognition, voice geometry, fingerprints hand recognition and patterns like retina designs and iris patterns (Saini, 2014). The recognition systems and models of biometrics allow for the verification possibility of people’s identity by only determining who they are and not what they might be ...

The most ideal access control for accommodating these permissions in the ACME Inc Human Resource department is the role based access control. The Role Based Access Control approach to securing access to the Human Resource management system bases access control decisions on the functions that a particular user is allowed to perform. The approach is widely used for non military enterprises with several employees with different roles and functions (Ferraiolo, Sandhu, Gavrila, Kuhn, & Chandramouli, 2001). Role Based Access Control method of access control is ideal for these permissions since the users are categorized and assigned different roles in the ...

Introduction

Race bias has been the topic of numerous psychological, sociological, and anthropological studies over the years. Even with an evolved understanding of the nature of race and the importance of racial equality, there are still psychological effects associated with race and race bias (Meissner & Brigham, 2001). It has long been known that individuals of any given race have a much easier time recognizing individuals from that same group than they do for individuals in an out-group—this is known as a cross-race or own-race bias (Sporer, 2001). Sporer (2001) writes, “Studies of the recognition of faces of an ethnic group different ...

Abstract:

Face recognition is as old as human history itself. We are have always relied on our brain to help us identify faces we are familiar with. This functioning of the human mind has been used by researchers in developing technologies which is contributing to use the facial recognition system as a security measure. What started with biometric applications like iris scan and finger print scan is now being transformed into the facial recognition system. Today recognition of facial features is being adopted across industries and installations. A question that flows is which of the sexes recognize faces better. Is it ...

Face Recognition System

Categorization and Features Face recognition system is a biometric system-any automatically measurable, robust and distinctive traits that can be used to identify an individual- that operates in two modes; face verification or authentication, and face identification or recognition (Li & Jain, 2011). Face verification postulates a one to one match that likens a face image in question against an enrollment face image whose identity is being claimed (Li & Jain, 2011). A distinctive application of this mode is person verification for self served immigration clearance using E-passport (Li & Jain, 2011). On the other hand, face identification encompasses one-to-many matching that compares a face in ...
