Face Recognition for Mobile Phone

Slashphone running article about Face Recognition feature for mobile phone will be introduced by Vodafone K.K. that authenticates customers by sensing their facial features to increase mobile phone security. From the article : "The Face Recognition function employs software based on Oki Electric Industry's "FSE (Face Sensing Engine)", embedded facial image processing middleware, and utilises the sub-camera located close to the main display to recognise customers by sensing the position of their eyes, eyebrows, mouth and other facial features. By pre-registering a customer's face and a secret question and answer, the camera will automatically activate when the handset is opened and authenticate a customer in less than a second."
