Facial recognition technology is often used in:
| security applications | Airports, smartphones, and surveillance systems often rely on facial recognition to verify identities. But if sweat, oil, or environmental reactions affect the system, it could lead to errors—like false rejections (denying the right person) or false acceptances (mistaking one person for another). Though these are only caused my huge mistakes, so it’s not that big of an issue. |
| healthcare | facial recognition is increasingly being explored for patient identification and even early disease detection. For example, certain health conditions can change skin chemistry, such as dehydration, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances, which in turn affect skin texture and appearance. |
| research | scientists and engineers are looking at the intersection of chemistry and facial recognition to design more robust systems. By studying how chemical changes affect reflectivity and micro-textures, they can train algorithms to recognize faces more consistently, regardless of skin condition or environment. This opens the door to innovations where chemistry isn’t just a limitation but also a pathway to better, more inclusive technology. |
