How do facial biometrics work?
Facial recognition maps various features on the face - for example, the distances between eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
The measurements are digitally coded and this can then be used for comparison and verification purposes.
Biometric technology is perfectly safe as facial biometrics can be taken from a good quality passport photograph.
