What is Facial Recognition?

The AI technology that identifies and verifies people by analyzing the unique geometric patterns of their face — including the distance between eyes, nose shape, jawline contour, and cheekbone structure. Modern facial recognition converts these measurements into a mathematical 'face embedding' vector that can be compared against millions of other face embeddings in milliseconds.
