Statistics say that the number of travelers around the world reached nearly 4 billion passengers annually. This number is expected to double in the next twenty years. On the other hand, we find that the ability of airports to absorb these huge numbers and check every small and large is very difficult, so what is the solution? It is imperative to find a solution that works on speed and ease of procedures in addition to security and maximum protection, and this can only be done through biometric gates "biometrics" or biometric authentications, and it is known that the fastest ones are currently the fingerprint or face recognition, as some call it. .
The idea of a face print at airports is simply that when the facial characteristics are matched with the passport, you will be able to bypass all checkpoints from pier to cabin without having to display travel documents every time. It's a matching process known as Single Token Travel.
Apple isn't alone in betting that a face ID is the best method of identification. Most airports and airlines are studying the use of this technology and applying it to travelers.
Apple mentioned when launching the iPhone X, especially after the success of the face print: that one day will come and we will give up the fingerprint in favor of the face print. Airlines seem to favor this view.
British Airways is popularizing and expanding the experience of facial recognition as an alternative to boarding passes to the gate, and also says: This experience has so far saved a lot of time, allowing passengers to board the plane in almost half the time.
It also says:
Similar to the built-in fingerprint feature in smartphones - a reference to the iPhone X -, biometric e-Gates technology is used and high-resolution cameras allow customers to pass through when the face is recognized and matched with a passport, visa, or immigration photos.
Travelers in Orlando who traveled on British Airways from Los Angeles have praised this new biometric process that has been in place since November 2017. When using these gates at Los Angeles Airport for the first time, British Airways was able to complete the verification of 400 passengers in 22 Just a minute, less than half the time without using this technique.
The company is also working on testing the fingerprint feature in other places instead of the fingerprint. Such as the Immigration Office in Miami and JFK Airport in New York.
The system uses facial fingerprint technology to verify the customer’s identity and automatically link it to any records in the Customs and Border Protection “CBP” systems or the Bureau and Border Protection in the United States. Simply put, this technology means saving the time and effort that customers spend in long lines to pass and review documents or take fingerprints.
It is also wonderful that we hear that Dubai International Airport is looking to use this technology while there are American airlines such as Jet Blue and Delta that are working to impede such technology and do not want to apply it - we do not know why - according to what several sources said.
Spoofing is more difficult than phone
Of course, some may see that it is imprecise and proper to rely on a facial print, especially as there are videos to deceive them, such as a child who managed to unlock his mother's phone or twins. This is really true, but there are several things that make deception at airports more difficult, for example, Apple on the iPhone is restricted to placing a camera and sensor at a size less than a finger, while at the airport they can use a camera and sensor more even if they want to use it at a size as long as a person. This means high accuracy that is difficult to deceive, and also deceives the child and his mother, of course, at the airport. Imagine that the procedures for a 35-year-old woman travel and find a 12-year-old child, this will not pass, of course. In addition, the technology is now experimental, meaning that it is still developing for the future. If you combine the presence of fast optical surveillance + much larger sensors + development of technology, this makes it very difficult to deceive. Especially since it can be combined with other sensors that scan the skin for masks, for example.

I expect that the goal of the spread of the face imprint is not only security, but rather it is due to research on the stages of bone growth or tissue growth in order to develop materials to design robots with better performance in the end for a scientific purpose Why do I read a lot about research on elegant design and studying nature designs as we note The mechanism of human balance and movement that robots have not reached because the fingerprint is sufficient for protection, and I do not see the face print as a necessary technology for protection and security unless there is another need that requires paying money to activate this service in phones and airports, and research continues to make the human body endure a life of 200 years The strange thing about this technology is that it suddenly entered us, not like the technology of facial recognition through software. The information says that there are researches for the work of DNA banks to know the origins of humans, especially in the Middle East. This was approved in 2013 and God knows
I see its success also likely, even in banks and ATMs
The UAE has been using a facial print at airports for some time now, and I personally use a facial print on the day I travel.
Thank you for the article
👍🏻
The facial print is already working in the UAE and on a personal experience last year at Abu Dhabi airport.
I think that the face print in the coming days, and with its development, it is very difficult to deceive it, unlike the fingerprint if someone obtained it, he can deceive it, and although the fingerprint is more practical because it is easy to use, but the safety is in the face print, but it has evolved from now 👍
Facial imprint has her wonderful near future
All you need is for its continued development
The face print .. just as every technology is still in the stage of growth and progress .. just as the fingerprint was growing until recently until it reached this stage of stability .. so that the user feels that it is the best technology for protection ..
Time will guarantee the development and improvement of the fingerprint of the face and the expansion of its use ... and the possession of the user's satisfaction with it
As for its use at airports or border crossings .. it will not be fair in the evaluation .. As Professor Mahmoud mentioned, the limited space in the phone does not allow the use of high-precision equipment and support tools, and it is also available for use at crossings or at airports ..
It remains here to discuss the cost of implementing this system and its equipment, which may discourage companies from experimenting with the beginning of the growth of this technology at the present time.
Greetings to all

👍🏻👍🏻
👍🏼💐
It is likely to be successful at airports
👍🏻
Think of the future for an eye print, because it is more accurate and cannot be deceived
-
A reader may ask that an eye print is used nowadays, yes it is used, but not in all countries, for example in Iraq, an eye print has been used for more than XNUMX years in airports and border crossings
Its success in airports is very likely
But there are other areas in which you can succeed, for example in telephone payment services. If the customer is registered with the payment company and his picture is in the company’s database, it is possible to authenticate the payment by synchronizing the phone’s camera with the camera of exchange machines or matching the image with what is stored in Teller ... and so on.
Inevitably the future for a face print
Apple Leads Technology Forward 👏👏
Incorrect. This phrase can only be repeated by someone who is not familiar with technology or a fanatic, so choose which one you are
Hahaha, I like your comments, my brother Majed
My brother Majid👍🏻
The correct phrase: Apple is contributing to the development of technology in front of other companies .. 🤗🤗
This is your generosity, my brother Majid
Greetings
Brother Muhammad, thank you, and this is from your taste 👍
My sister Nour, thank you 👍
Brother Ismail Well done 👍 Thank you for your taste
