Picture of the Day: Facial Recognition System Coming to Incheon International Airport
The SMART Pass system, which enables tourists to undergo departure procedures easily using only facial recognition information, is installed at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, on July 10, 2023. The system is scheduled to be introduced at the end of the month. (Yonhap)
Welcome to China.
The Setnaffarian Leader is ignorant of the fact that US airports use face recognition technology and Universal Studios Japan use facial recognition technology from NEC to check entrance of visitors with long term park membership.
Facial recognition is here to stay.
It is accurate, easy, and computationally inexpensive.
…and it solves a lot of administrative problems if you are an administrator…
…be it an amusement park administrator or a the guy processing new intakes between the boxcars and the Education and Freedom Camp.
If used for the forces of good, it will make tasks like immigration easy and accurate.
But these kinds of things evolve into the horror of function creep.
Fortunately, facial recognition can be tricked though a process not unlike an optical illusion… much in the way a ladyboy might trick you when makeup and alcohol are involved.
Protip: Facial recognition is NOT tricked over gender or race. It is also very accurate in identifying homosexualuty and criminality.
I have directly worked on all of these and can explain the details if anyone has questions on how this is possible.
