MULTAN (APP) – Multan has become the fourth city in Pakistan to have a working Facial Recognition System (FRS) at its airport, after Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore, according to a spokeswoman for the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) on Friday.
A facial recognition system is a device that can compare a human face in a digital picture or video frame to a database of faces.
The device, according to the spokeswoman, would be of significant assistance to border officials at Multan foreign Airport, as well as check unlawful foreign transit.
According to him, officials from the Japan International Cooperation System (JICS) trained Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Civil Aviation Authority personnel at MIAP in this respect.
“The cooperation between the Japanese and Pakistani governments for strengthening the security system at our airports is a continuous process,” the spokeswoman stated.
The Facial Recognition System, which works by locating and quantifying facial characteristics from a given picture, is often used to verify individuals via ID verification services. It falls under the topic of biometric security. Voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, and retina or iris recognition are examples of biometric software.
