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

adding functionality to it, and they’ve got this very nice celebrity look-alike service. So they’re hosting a huge database <span class="highlight">of</span> famous <span class="highlight">face</span> images, they have about 30,000 images on their database. And the idea is that you as a user can upload a photograph <span class="highlight">of</span> your own <span class="highlight">face</span>, and it will compare the uploaded image <span class="highlight">of</span> you to all the images in its database and show you which celebrity you most closely resemble. Now this process is driven by <span class="highlight">one</span> <span class="highlight">of</span> the industry standard <span class="highlight">face</span> <span class="highlight">recognition</span> systems called FaceVACS.
