Facial recognition is a mode of recognizing
Facial recognition is a mode of recognizing or confirming an individual’s identity using their face. It is a way of physical identification that uses body demographics, face, and head, to verify the identity of a person through facial patterns and data. Generally, facial recognition does not depend on a huge database of photos to determine an individual’s identity. In fact, it simply identifies and recognizes one person matching exactly to the face database & filtering out other faces. However, the pandemic affected the usage of such systems. These technologies are among the most relied-on and efficient access control tools available to smart cities.

The access control has plenty of other perks like eliminating reception and admin duties and assisting HR with payrolls and schedules.
