The first semi-automatic face recognition system founder.
Woodrow W. Bledsoe
The first semi-automatic face recognition system was
developed by Woodrow W. Bledsoe under contract to the US Government. This
system required the administrator to locate features such as eyes, ears, nose
and mouth on the photographs.
Face ID is some of the most advanced hardware and software
that ever created. The TrueDepth camera captures accurate face data by
projecting and analyzing over 30,000 invisible dots to create a depth map of
user face and also captures an infrared image of user face. A portion of the
neural engine of the A11, A12 Bionic, and A12X Bionic chip — protected within
the Secure Enclave — transforms the depth map and infrared image into a
mathematical representation and compares that representation to the enrolled
facial data. Face ID is designed to work with hats, scarves, glasses,
contact lenses, and many sunglasses. Furthermore, it's designed to work
indoors, outdoors, and even in total darkness. Face ID automatically
adapts to changes in user appearance, such as wearing cosmetic makeup or
growing facial hair. Face ID works best when the device is arm’s length
or less from user face (25-50 cm away from user face). Each time
user unlocking device, the TrueDepth camera recognizes user by capturing accurate
depth data and an infrared image. This information is matched against the
stored mathematical representation to authenticate.
