Face recognition technology is based on the matching of specifi c features on every face, which biologically possesses a huge advantage of security and has been preferred in many application fi elds of high secured environments. Face-Scanning to get onboard with 0.7 second, Face-Scanning to go through the entry with 10 seconds…… Since face recognition is more and more applied in aviation and service fi elds, our traveling and life are also changed with it.

“刷脸”飞行

人脸识别技术利用人脸的独特匹配性，具有先天性的安全优势，受到高安全性环境应用领域的青睐。“刷脸”0.7秒登机、“刷脸”10秒通关入境……当人脸识别技术越来越多地进入航空服务领域，人们的出行生活也随之发生改变。

Face recognition is a bio-identification technology based on facial information, with the information collected by video camera or camera to identify the information with technological check and to realize the instant identification.

人脸识别是基于人的脸部特征信息进行身份识别的一种生物识别技术，用摄像机或摄像头采集，进而对检测到的人脸进行脸部的一系列技术识别，从而实现快速身份认证。

Get onboard by Face-Scanning

In recent years, with the advance of A.I. and big data, both the technology and application of face recognition have been hugely improved. According to a research, the accuracy of face recognition has reached 95%, and theoretically, it can be 99.7%. In China, a country pioneers in the speed of Internet popularizing and application, face recognition has been fi rstly used in fl ight check-in process.

On 28 June 2017, China Southern Airlines initiated the fi rst face recognition check-in system in China at Nanyang Airport. Before the check-in, the passengers can download the latest version of China Southern APP, upload a picture to profi le as required. After fi nishing the check-in, they can directly go through the security check with valid identity and boarding pass. During the security check, the system will use face recognition to match the picture in profi le, the instant picture of passenger and the picture on identity card to help the security staff to make sure if they are all identical. When the passengers arrive at the boarding gate, they don't need to show the personal identity and boarding pass, just face towards to the camera and the system will match the face automatically according to the passenger list. The successfully matched passengers can quickly go through the gate machine and get onboard.

The face recognition system adopts the most advanced A.I. Bio-identifi cation technology, intelligentialized security check methods and safe and effi cient self check-in devices to realize the facescanning all the way from App downloading, security check and boarding, which makes the security check and boarding much more secure, scientifi c and rational. With the pretests in earlier stage, the system works well and the passengers are all satisfi ed. What's worth the attention is that China Southern also plan to apply more face recognition in all kinds of processes such as App log-in, payment, airport people searching and the location of passengers.

Go through the security check by face-scanning

It's reported that many airports in other countries have also applied face recognition pretests to replace the passport scanning and staff at counters by using bio-identifi cation and face recognition information to let the passengers go through the customs and entry. From October, it's said that Tokyo Haneda International Airport would set automatic doors with face recognition systems, with one inspector in charge of several doors' inspections. The whole process will just take 10 seconds. Till 2018, this kind of system will also be more widely used at Tokyo Haneda International Airport, Kansai International Airport and Central Nagoya Airport. Canberra Airport in Australia is also taking pretest of face recognition, while the airports in Denver and Atlanta in America are as well pretesting this new technology, trying to replace the traditional boarding pass and identity check. Besides the effi ciency, face recognition applied at airports is also related to passenger management systems, luggage managements and so on. The high accuracy of matching will secure the aviation activities.

The process of face recognition includes facial check, facial pre-process, collecting of facial features, facial matching, identification and so on. This series of steps can be finished in several seconds, which can make the passengers go through the gate by simple face-scanning.人脸识别的工作步骤分为人脸检测、人脸图像预处理、人脸图像特征提取、人脸图像匹配与识别等。这一系列步骤在短时间内即可快速完成，从而能够实现旅客刷脸秒速过登机口登机。

“刷脸”乘机

近年来，随着人工智能、大数据应用的不断进步，人脸识别无论在技术上还是应用上都有了质的飞跃。根据研究，人脸识别技术精确度已经高于95%，理论上可达99.7%，而在互联网普及速度和运用量领先的中国，人脸识别技术更被率先引入乘机领域。

6月28日，南航在南阳机场启用国内首个人脸识别智能化登机系统。旅客在乘机前，需下载最新版南航官方APP，并按照要求上传个人头像，办理完值机手续后，持有效证件和登机牌通过安检。在安检环节，该系统使用人脸识别技术，对比分析旅客头像照片、证件照片、实时照片是否为同一人，辅助安检人员对旅客身份进行甄别。当旅客通过安检到达登机口，经过自助闸机面对摄像头时，无须持证件和登机牌，人脸识别系统连接摄像头，与旅客名单自动进行人脸匹配，匹配成功的旅客即可快速过闸机登机。

这套人脸识别智能化登机系统集成了最先进的人工智能生物识别技术、智能化安检辅助手段和安全高效的自助登机设备，实现了APP装载、安检和登机全流程人脸识别，使安检、登机流程更加安全、科学、合理。根据前期试运行结果来看，该系统运转正常，旅客体验良好。值得关注的是，南航还计划在APP登录、支付、机场寻人、旅客定位等环节引入人脸识别技术。

“刷脸”通关

据报道，采用生物识别技术，通过人脸信息自动确认入境旅客身份，以取代以往的护照扫描和人工窗口的技术，也开始在国外各大机场试用。据报道，从 10月开始，日本东京羽田机场将设置人脸识别自动门，一名审查官应对多个自动门的审查，整个过程仅需要10余秒。这种人脸识别自动门还将在2018年扩大至东京成田机场、大阪关西国际机场以及名古屋中部国际机场。据悉，澳大利亚堪培拉机场试点“刷脸通关”，美国丹佛和亚特兰大机场也在进行刷脸登机试点，取代传统的登机牌和身份证明。除了效率的提高，人脸识别技术在机场的应用，还涉及旅客管理系统、行李系统等，极高的识别率也将为航空安全提供保障。
