According
to a study from ABI Research titled Facial Recognition for Mobile Devices,
nearly 20 percent of smartphones sold today will have facial recognition
capabilities. Furthermore, in 5 years time shipments of smartphones and tablets
with this technology will increase to 665 million units per year.
Currently
only the smartphone which is operating system Android 4.0 Ice
Cream Sandwich and 4.1 Jelly Bean that support this technology. And that's not
all smartphone / tablet ICS can do. But is expected in 2-3 years other than the
Android platform will adopt this technology.
Facial
recognition technology was developed in the 60's by a trio of scientists Woody
Bledsoe, Helen Chan Wolf, and Charles Bisson. The biggest challenge for this
technology to be incorporated into a mobile device is a sensor camera to be
sufficiently accurate and a processor that is powerful enough to handle very
complex algorithms without consuming too much power consumption. Of course for
advanced mobile phones today, it is not a problem.
