What is FaceID?

FaceID is a facial recognition technology introduced by Apple, which scans and analyzes the user's facial features through the front camera and infrared sensor, thus realizing the functions of device unlocking and payment verification. FaceID was first introduced by Apple on iPhone, and has been applied to iPhone, iPad and Mac.

How does FaceID work?

The working principle of FaceID is based on deep learning and artificial intelligence technology. It scans and analyzes the user's face through the original deep camera system, including facial contour, eyes, nose, mouth and other features. At the same time, FaceID can also recognize the user's expression and posture, thus avoiding being cheated. The process of identifying FaceID is real-time and can be completed in less than one second.
