The current domestic face recognition technology faces the pain points in the market

Security, banking, and public security systems are the most widely used in areas where face recognition is currently the most popular. Future faces can shine in many areas, depending on technological breakthroughs and innovations. As far as the current status quo in China is concerned, face recognition faces two major pain points in the market.

First, the business model needs to be improved

The popularity of a new technology is related to many factors. As a company, cost control and profitability are its purpose. The face recognition technology has high threshold and high investment, and the application scenarios in the short term are very limited. Therefore, many enterprises are hesitant in the layout. They want to make face recognition technology enter the home like online shopping, a good business model. It is vital.

In the popularization of face recognition technology, many domestic companies have also made a lot of efforts. For example, Baidu has launched a product called Face Excellent, which is a tentative application of Baidu in artificial intelligence technology. Some people think that the launch of this application allows The mobile APP has broken through from the "model era" to the "surgical era." Because the application is connected not only to the user and the future business model, but also to connect Baidu's artificial intelligence and face recognition technologies, and has a high enough technical threshold to achieve difficulty. Internet giants such as Alibaba and Tencent have also tried commercial realization based on face recognition technology, but the results have not reached expectations.

Second, the current face recognition technology still has room for improvement

The current face recognition system mainly includes four components: face image acquisition and detection, face image preprocessing, face image feature extraction, and matching and recognition. As the data grows in the future, there will be even greater challenges in data matching.

Face recognition is very useful, but currently there are many deficiencies in face recognition technology, such as sensitivity to the surrounding light environment, which may affect the accuracy of recognition. In the face of dark, similar and other complex scenes, the recognition rate does not perform well.

In recent years, although domestic enterprises have achieved certain results in face recognition technology, there are still many aspects that need to be worked hard. For example, the recognition of faces, nighttime recognition, and infrared recognition through window glass is still waiting for enterprises to develop.

Where can the current face recognition technology be improved?

To make progress in face recognition technology, it is necessary to seek breakthroughs from several key technical points. Several key technologies for face recognition include:

Feature-based face detection technology—face detection by using color, outline, texture, structure, or histogram features.

Based on template matching face detection technology - extracting face templates from the database, and then adopting a certain template matching strategy, so that the captured face image matches the image extracted from the template library, and the correlation level and the matching template size Determine face size and location information.

Statistical face detection technology—by using a large number of face positive and negative sample libraries for “face” and “non-human face” images, statistical methods are used to train the system to achieve face and non-face The pattern of the face is detected and classified.

From a technical perspective, the approach to face recognition improvement can be derived from the above three aspects. Any breakthrough in detail technology can lead to improved recognition rates.

In addition to the above three technical aspects to improve face recognition, there are also many upstream companies doing research on the improvement of face recognition technology, such as improving the face recognition accuracy through improvements in components.

Infrared fill light sources for the user's face or eyes need to be bright enough and uniform, which is especially important for face recognition and eye tracking systems. Osram's new Synios P2720 uses infrared light with a wavelength of 940 nm to reduce red bursts. Previously infrared cameras had the best sensitivity to 850 nm infrared sources.

It is understood that this IRED is designed for 2D face recognition and is the latest addition to OSRAM Opto Semiconductors' existing line of biometric products.

The main research direction and development prospects of face recognition

These requirements for technology are getting higher and higher, requiring both data accuracy and data security. Face recognition is promising in this respect. As the main force of the industry, the company's technical strength and innovation ability determine the entire industry. The direction, any little technological innovation can bring about changes in the industry.

The main research direction of future face recognition will focus on some problems currently faced, such as the similarity of face and face structure, face posture, age change, lighting changes in complex environments, and occlusion of face ornaments.

The development of face recognition is not only limited by its own technology, but also closely related to the entire industry. In order to make artificial intelligence popular, many companies are actively deploying face recognition, including BAT Internet giants and companies that improve optics for face recognition. Ma Yun invested in face recognition technology company defiance technology and Shang Tang technology; Tencent established Utopia Lab, focusing on image processing, deep learning and other areas to carry out technology research and development; Baidu also set up a face recognition team to develop core technology. Recently, optical giant Osram acquired US company Vixar Inc. to strengthen 3D facial recognition skills and actively improve face recognition technology; by introducing Vixar technology in vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), OSRAM will master more including ultra-precision 3D facials. Identifyed security technologies that can be used not only to unlock smartphones and consumer electronics, but also in industries that require higher security access control.

Relying on the rapid advancement of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, the face recognition application scene will become more and more extensive. With the R&D investment of national scientific research institutions, the research of technology on the enterprise, and the promotion of the market, these will be the signs of the bright future of face recognition. According to industry analysts, face recognition may become the mainstream of effective identification in the future. At that time, face recognition is not a new word.
