Thinking to get a lappy with cam soon..
Since it will have integrated cam, im thinking to install face recognition software into it for security purpose.. It may not be a good idea to do so as such technology may not mature yet.. But just make it high tech a bit..hehe

Anyone with experience on face recognition software? Wish it can be used in windows logon screen..

The one i googled is FaceCode from Recognix. Dunno which one is the best..

Face recognition??? seriously? Once the mythbusters proved that finger print system can easily be fooled by using simple methods. And thats a technology that has been developed for nearly decades. Security is just an illusion. Good luck!

Lenovo laptops come with Face Recognition.

correct, the latest lenovo come with this technology. however, the face recognization is less effective then eye recognization, which is relatively much more expensive to implement.

for what I know, previosuly there's a company in US has a face recognition software and they sold it to FBI for catching criminals, guest what? TOTAL FAILURE!

face recognition?
how if someone use ur photo...print it to real life size and put in front of the cam, i guess the lappie will be fooled.

Never thought of that. Nice hacking method. Thumbs up.

the software won`t be that stupid not to diffrenate between a paper and a skin gua but it really is that stupid, zha dou lor

and webcam quality isn`t that great, wonder the accuracy is how much percent, and what if one day ur face get disfigure in accident ( what if ) how would u unlock it?

You worry too much.. even if fingerprint scanner your finger get burnt also cant be recognize.. U meet in accident and lost memories then even password u also fail to enter..

I don't know about current commercial software, but i do know that there is facial recognition software that is not fooled by pictures or the like, and it works amazingly fast. I saw this a couple of years ago during a research demonstration.

Im just purchase the RCG FXGuard Windows Logon @ RM199 with free Web Cam.. Can capture intruder photo and saved in PC..have free gift somemore not bad i think

hmm. u r the 1st person i heard bought it.

Obviously I need to do more reading up. Thumbs up. Cheers!

pictures ok la but i wonder about masks or those makeups Mission Impossible style.

it has certain limitations. If you grow a beard, wear a hat then the recognition % drops.

Fingerprint, it is depending on the technology it uses. Some is just optical , like a camera. These type can easily be fooled because there is no contact with the finger.

There are other more secure ones that measure the response from the finger that is touching it. If the responses are not within range of a normal human finger, then it will reject even though the patterns match. I have seen this demonstrated where they use various types of synthetic skin, rubber to fool the system.

Irregardless, the best way to do it is a combination of solutions plus what you have(smartcard,id,pass) and what you are(fingerprint,veins,dna).

well , it is becasuse of different angle.
when u look at the laptop , u will be looking in straight on , which make sense it can recognize .

Ok, lets be practical, one day u go on a place, god knows where.. u get pimples on ur trip

the software obviously couldnt recognized ur now disfigured face.. how?

*pimples are naturally grown, everyone have them, and no one can estimate when u grows pimples right?

Has any one tried this face recognition software for windows logon?? I would appreciate ur feedback very much coz I am stil deciding whether to buy this software o not...

wow, its nice technology

my fren who work at notebookshop.com.my told me tat certain lenovo computer had intergrated tis feature into the lenovo series, but myself hadnt got the chance to c it myself.
