facial recognition to 100% by using what they call an "averaged" face. In the future, it could mean a new kind of photo for your passport. I spoke to Jenkins from his office at the University of Glasgow. Interviewee - Rob Jenkins As you know, there’s increasing interest in security applications and security infrastructure and biometrics in general. The problem is, a lot of the face recognition systems that are out there simply don’t work at anything like the level that people think they do. So for some

Interviewee - Rob Jenkins This is very surprising to us. Once we fed the computer the average <span class="highlight">images</span>, its performance was 100%, so it got all <span class="highlight">of</span> the faces right. On standard photographs, when we were just showing it new photos <span class="highlight">of</span> individuals who we knew were in the database, they got 54% <span class="highlight">of</span> those right. We used an online implementation <span class="highlight">of</span> an industry-standard <span class="highlight">face</span> <span class="highlight">recognition</span> system. This is at <span class="highlight">a</span> fantastic website called myheritage.com. <span class="highlight">And</span> it started out as <span class="highlight">a</span> genealogy research website, but they kept
