Face Scanning - Facial Recognition

Facial Scanning is employed in much of the same way as is finger-scanning and other biometric technologies. However, unlike other biometric technologies, this is a non-invasive biometric as only a series photographs are needed to create a facial template of a person. Because of the potential drawbacks associated with facial scanning it is best used in conjunction with another biometric innovation for the most reliable results. However, facial scanning is still extremely useful in many fields.
