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.

“刷臉”飛行

人臉識別技術利用人臉的獨特匹配性，具有先天性的安全優勢，受到高安全性環境應用領域的青睞。“刷臉”0.7秒登機、“刷臉”10秒通關入境……當人臉識別技術越來越多地進入航空服務領域，人們的出行生活也隨之發生改變。

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.

人臉識別是基于人的臉部特征信息進行身份識別的一種生物識別技術，用攝像機或攝像頭采集，進而對檢測到的人臉進行臉部的一系列技術識別，從而實現快速身份認證。

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.人臉識別的工作步驟分為人臉檢測、人臉圖像預處理、人臉圖像特征提取、人臉圖像匹配與識別等。這一系列步驟在短時間內即可快速完成，從而能夠實現旅客刷臉秒速過登機口登機。

“刷臉”乘機

近年來，隨著人工智能、大數據應用的不斷進步，人臉識別無論在技術上還是應用上都有了質的飛躍。根據研究，人臉識別技術精確度已經高于95%，理論上可達99.7%，而在互聯網普及速度和運用量領先的中國，人臉識別技術更被率先引入乘機領域。

6月28日，南航在南陽機場啟用國內首個人臉識別智能化登機系統。旅客在乘機前，需下載最新版南航官方APP，并按照要求上傳個人頭像，辦理完值機手續后，持有效證件和登機牌通過安檢。在安檢環節，該系統使用人臉識別技術，對比分析旅客頭像照片、證件照片、實時照片是否為同一人，輔助安檢人員對旅客身份進行甄別。當旅客通過安檢到達登機口，經過自助閘機面對攝像頭時，無須持證件和登機牌，人臉識別系統連接攝像頭，與旅客名單自動進行人臉匹配，匹配成功的旅客即可快速過閘機登機。

這套人臉識別智能化登機系統集成了最先進的人工智能生物識別技術、智能化安檢輔助手段和安全高效的自助登機設備，實現了APP裝載、安檢和登機全流程人臉識別，使安檢、登機流程更加安全、科學、合理。根據前期試運行結果來看，該系統運轉正常，旅客體驗良好。值得關注的是，南航還計劃在APP登錄、支付、機場尋人、旅客定位等環節引入人臉識別技術。

“刷臉”通關

據報道，采用生物識別技術，通過人臉信息自動確認入境旅客身份，以取代以往的護照掃描和人工窗口的技術，也開始在國外各大機場試用。據報道，從 10月開始，日本東京羽田機場將設置人臉識別自動門，一名審查官應對多個自動門的審查，整個過程僅需要10余秒。這種人臉識別自動門還將在2018年擴大至東京成田機場、大阪關西國際機場以及名古屋中部國際機場。據悉，澳大利亞堪培拉機場試點“刷臉通關”，美國丹佛和亞特蘭大機場也在進行刷臉登機試點，取代傳統的登機牌和身份證明。除了效率的提高，人臉識別技術在機場的應用，還涉及旅客管理系統、行李系統等，極高的識別率也將為航空安全提供保障。
