Facial recognition technology is thriving. It’s often associated with security and policing, but it also has great potential for social and consumer applications. Each of us spends three working weeks of the year simply identifying ourselves to others - if we could reduce that to two weeks, world productivity could be boosted by almost 2%.
Join UQ’s Professor Brian Lovell as he discusses the science of facial recognition technology and how it can help us get back – at least some – of our lives.
