Reconocimiento Facial

Facial recognition is a technology that identifies or verifies a person’s identity by analyzing and comparing facial features from images or video. This biometric method uses algorithms to detect and map facial landmarks, such as the distance between the eyes, the shape of the jaw, and the contour of the cheeks. The resulting data creates a unique facial signature that can be used to match against a database of known faces. Applications include security systems, law enforcement for identifying suspects, personal device access, and social media tagging. Facial recognition raises various ethical and privacy concerns, particularly regarding consent, surveillance, and potential biases in the technology.
