Over the years there have been several well-documented issues with facial recognition technology, such as inaccuracy when detecting people from different cultural backgrounds, privacy concerns, and the fear of the technology making a mistake and resulting in wrongful convictions of individuals.
Those developing software tools have taken heed of the mistakes of the past and the concerns of the public to fine-tune algorithms to the point that facial recognition technology (FRT) is reaching new levels of adoption globally.
Improvements
In a recent study, the market value of FRT is expected to grow to 12.75 Billion USD by 2026, nearly tripling the market’s 2020 value of 4.84 billion USD. This increase can be attributed in part to developers addressing the initial weaknesses of the technology.
While it is important to debate the ethics behind the use of the technology, that is beyond the scope of this article. Policy frameworks need to be developed by lawmakers that meet the scope of the technology, of that there is little doubt, but the technology has advanced to the point now where the discussion has been shifted on how to implement the technology in a way that still respects the privacy of the individual.
The rest of the article will be dedicated to the top tools available to those interested in the technology.
Biometric Suites
For those not well-versed in software development or FRT, there exists great paid for biometric suites that include facial recognition as one me ..
