The face recognition system is an innovative development that predicts a great future. For the correct operation of this system, several important components are required. Thus, one cannot do without a server that hosts the entire database and comparison technique developed by specialists.
The system is impossible without a neural network, which stores more than one million images of people with special marks. But the neural network must first be specially prepared, that is, trained. There is nothing complicated in this, just the pictures are loaded into it and presented, for example, this is Masha Petrova and so on.
The system already determines the vectors of signs without the help of specialists, it begins to study the face, finds geometric patterns on it. All this is done in such a way that later the system could recognize a certain person by its features in appearance from a huge number of similar images. Such features include the location of the eyes and their shape, hair growth and haircut, chin location, and face shape. After all, people are all different, although they are similar in many ways. The system learns to distinguish exactly the unique elements.
For example, the technology for face recognition "Face In" uses a large number of so-called numerical features-characteristics. In total, there are 80 of them in the system. After this stage, the technical process starts, which works on an automatic level.
The introduction into many areas of social life has caused among people a kind of joy and at the same time panic. In 2016, the FindFace application for smartphones appeared, which literally translates to “find a face”.
Fans of social networks only dreamed of such an innovation. Now it was possible to find any registered user without even knowing his name. It was enough to take a picture of a person, upload a photo and the application itself gave out a stranger's page on social networks. At first, the application found several personalities that were similar in appearance, then the developers improved it. The development caused a public discussion about whether modern technologies violate the right of each person to privacy and personal life, because in fact, now anyone could start persecuting anyone.

The system has become very interesting not only for ordinary people, but also for services specializing in the search for people, including offenders. For example, such a program is very helpful for employees of border services, special services, it is needed at airports, crowded places and even in amusement parks. Special cameras are installed in the cities, to which the base of the wanted and criminals is connected. If the system in the cell detects a similarity, then an automatic signal is sent to the police. It is rather difficult for criminals to hide in a city where there are such cameras everywhere.
