Have you ever wondered how your online banking or mobile apps recognize your face? That’s the power of facial recognition technology!
Humans can recognize up to 10,000 faces in a lifetime, but can you trust a machine to do the same? According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), facial recognition can achieve accuracy scores of up to 99.97%. Impressive, right? Due to improved accuracy and relevant international regulations, MarketsandMarkets research predicts the facial recognition market grows. It will achieve $13.4 billion by 2028.
