But First let me take a #SELFIE: Facial Recognition with Deep Learning
First of all, let
me ask a question; how many of you take selfies? I think the answer is quite simple
and it is obviously a big ‘YES’. Well then let me rephrase it; how many of you
take selfies only after the camera detects your face? Now something interesting
is coming. You know how it detects your face, your age, your gender and sometimes
even your name.
Let me take one more
example. Well, I am pretty sure that everyone out there must be using ‘tag your
friend’ option on Facebook. Have you ever noticed that typing their names individually
is not required, as soon as you upload a photo, Facebook tags everyone for you
like magic.
Is this really a magic?
No, not at all. This is technology. This is Facial
Recognition.
Now let us talk about
Facial Recognition. According to Wikipedia, A facial recognition system is a
computer application capable of identifying or verifying a person from a
digital image or a video frame from a video source. One of the ways to do this
is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a face database. It
is typically used in security systems and can be compared to other biometrics
such as fingerprint or eye iris recognition systems. Recently, it has also
become popular as a commercial identification and marketing tool.
However, human facial expressions change so frequently that
recognition accuracy of most traditional approaches largely depend on feature
extraction. Here, deep
learning comes into picture, which intends to simulate the organizational
structure of human brain's nerve and combine low-level features to form a more
abstract level. And these deep learning techniques have been used over images
displaying the following facial emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise,
disgust, and fear.
Now let us discuss few applications
of facial expressions that are widely being used around us.
- Payments
- Access and security
- Criminal identification
- Advertising
- Healthcare
To verify payments, grant
access and improve existing security systems our physical is necessary. That
time is not so far when instead of unlocking the door with a key, we will do it
with our face. As per a market analysis, by 2022, the global facial recognition
technology market is projected to generate an estimated $9.6 billion in revenue
with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3 percent.
