Analysis on the Basic Situation of Face Recognition Industry
Face recognition is a biometric technology for personal identification based on facial feature information. The face recognition system mainly includes four parts, namely, face image acquisition and detection, face recognition preprocessing, face image feature extraction and matching recognition.
The upstream of the face recognition industry chain is the basic layer, including artificial intelligence chips, algorithm technology and data sets; The midstream includes video face recognition, picture face recognition and database comparison test. The main products of midstream enterprises are embedded face recognition software and one-stop solutions. The related technologies in the middle reaches generally include face detection, living body detection, face recognition, video object extraction and analysis. Downstream is the specific scenario application, that is, application scheme, consumer terminal or service.

It is estimated that the face recognition market in China will be close to 2.8 billion yuan in 20 18.
Since 20 15, the country has continuously issued favorable policies, which has promoted the application of face recognition in the fields of finance, security and medical care, and laid a solid foundation for China's face recognition industry. With the continuous expansion of the application field of face recognition system and the deepening of commercialization, the market scale of face recognition industry has also ushered in rapid growth. According to the statistical data of China Face Recognition Industry Market Foresight and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report released by Foresight Industry Research Institute, from 20 10 to 20 17, the market size of China Face Recognition Industry maintained a compound growth rate of 34%. In 20 10, the market scale of face recognition industry in China was only 377.7 million yuan. In 20 16, the market scale of face recognition industry in China increased to172.5 billion yuan, and in 20 17, the market scale of face recognition industry in China reached 2 1.9 1 100 million yuan. It is preliminarily estimated that the market scale of face recognition industry in China will reach 276,654.38 billion yuan in 20 18, with a growth rate of about 26%. It is predicted that the market scale of face recognition industry in China will exceed 5 billion yuan in 20021year.

Analysis on the Application of Face Recognition Technology in China
If 20 14 is the turning point of China's face recognition technology, which makes the face recognition technology move from theory to application, then 20 18 is an important node for the comprehensive application of face recognition technology, and the era of "face brushing" has officially arrived.
Judging from the current application of face recognition technology in China, it is mainly concentrated in three major fields: finance, security, attendance/access control.
Proportional statistics of face recognition technology in China

From the specific application, it mainly includes criminal investigation and pursuit, criminal identification and border security in the public security field; E-government, household registration management, social welfare and insurance in the field of information security; E-commerce, e-money and payment, attendance and marketing in the field of commercial enterprises; Access control and management of military confidential departments and financial institutions in the field of site access.
20 18, face recognition technology unlocks more applications in more fields. Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei and Qingdao all started face recognition systems during the 20 18 college entrance examination. Peking University applied face recognition technology to the field of campus visitor authentication; The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security also plans to install face recognition systems in all municipal public rental houses to prevent illegal subletting of public rental houses; Didi officially launched the face recognition system in June.
Judging from the application layout of leading enterprises in the field of face recognition technology in China, there are relatively many security and financial layouts, and they have also begun to set foot in logistics, retail, smart phones, automobiles, education, real estate, entertainment advertising and other fields.
20 19 Analysis on the Development Trend of Face Recognition Technology in China
From the perspective of market application, Prospective Industry Research Institute thinks that the following development trends will be presented in 20 19:
1, the integration of big data and face recognition will be further deepened.
With the vertical advancement of face recognition technology in the field of public security and government functions, especially in the public security system, the use of face recognition technology and massive photo data can greatly improve the management level of the whole public security informationization. At present, Shenzhen public security system has been actively practicing, and it is expected that in 20 19, more regions and fields will actively explore the application of big data and face recognition fusion technology.
2.3D face recognition technology products will gradually replace 2D face recognition technology products.
Face recognition algorithm based on 3D can make up for the loss of effective recognition information caused by 2D projection, and solve the problems of traditional face rotation, occlusion and extreme similarity. 2065438+February 7, 2008, the leading enterprise of face recognition technology officially released "3D structured light face recognition technology" from Cloud Technology, which marked that China has made great progress in the field of 3D face recognition technology products.
3. Security is still an important growth pole for the application of face recognition technology in the future.
In recent years, the rapid development of security industry provides a stage for face recognition applications. On the other hand, with the further development of face recognition technology, it has opened up a new market for the security industry. According to the analysis of Forward-looking Industry Research Institute, intelligent video analysis will be one of the directions of the future security market, and face recognition is a very important technology and application. Intelligent video surveillance face recognition system is an effective combination of video surveillance system and face recognition technology, which can greatly improve security capabilities, especially for criminals.
4. Face recognition technology has infinite possibilities in the field of smart home.
With the development of modern science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, the popularity of smart devices is getting higher and higher, and smart home will be an important development trend. Because of its convenience and security, face recognition technology can be used as an access control system and authentication system in smart home, so the integration of smart home and face recognition technology is the key direction of future development.
