The rise of face recognition applications may make it unnecessary for outbound travel to require a passport

According to techradar reported on August 29, according to statistics, about 4 billion passengers are expected to travel this year. By 2036, the International Air Transport Association expects this number will double. In order to improve the efficiency of entry and exit, many airports have introduced automated check-in verification gate systems. But now with the rapid rise of face recognition applications based on biometrics, you may not need a passport anymore in the future, because your face is your passport.


Travel is a very important lifestyle today. In order to improve efficiency, we have now seen the emergence of automatic ticket gates and automatic baggage checkers that have completely changed the check-in procedures. Compared to traditional check-in counters, these automated methods can reduce people's waiting time by 30%.

Digital security company Gemalto, head of marketing travel and borders, Nola? When talking about the future flight experience, Nora Blomefield said, “The key to avoiding airport congestion is to keep people flowing. Various HD cameras can verify the identity of each passenger at the beginning of the trip, and then It continues to the whole process of baggage check, security check and boarding. Although iris and fingerprint can be used, it is relatively inconvenient for face recognition. The advantage of face recognition is that it is non-invasive technology and flexible to deploy. ."


Although face recognition is not a substitute for passports at present, the application of new technologies has made paper-based identity documents less demanding. At the Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 in London, UK, British Airways is domestic. Three self-service boarding gates are set up on the flight. Passengers can check in the boarding pass and pass the face recognition.


“The emergence of new technologies is always accompanied by doubts and doubts. Face recognition technology is an enhanced detection method. The core value lies in the significant time savings, not 100% accuracy,” said Dr. Nick Whitehead, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Aurora. Regarding the accuracy of face recognition technology, the above statement, "Face recognition technology is not foolproof, it verifies consistency, if there is a doubt, it will trigger the manual detection process, and humans are better at handling unexpected situations."

E-passport verification is called one-to-one verification. Now it is a one-to-many verification era. Your appearance will not only be compared with passport photos, but also compared with the cloud database to verify whether you have illegal records or Throughout the suspects, the third way is called the “less-to-many” mode. The camera can shoot a group of people and find the target person in the crowd through cross-validation of the database.


So can you travel abroad without a passport in the future? The answer is almost certain, at least for the highly credible "flying trapeze". In fact, Australia is already piloting passport-free travel. However, the concept of digital passport is still in the process of promotion. Most people don't know what a digital passport is, whether it should be stored in a mobile phone, whether it can be used outside the airport, and how the information is on it. Share it. The standard issues involved also need to be recognized internationally. But this is still the future trend.


Dr. Nick Whitehead said, “Because of the introduction of artificial intelligence technology and deep learning technology, the accuracy of face recognition technology has been greatly improved. Future technology trends may also use blockchain technology to solve the problem of repeatedly collecting the same data. Trouble, if you want to understand how this system works in a large-scale application scenario, you can go to China and see that face recognition is very popular."
