Facial recognition is a method of using computer software to identify individuals based on the features of their face. Face matching is a similar but distinct computer technique in which software compares two images and answers a yes-or-no question as to whether the two faces are the same. Face clustering involves scanning a set of faces and using a computer program to categorize the individuals who are scanned based on certain features such as gender, ethnicity, or age range. Because it does not involve individualized identifications, face clustering does not raise the same kinds of risks addressed in this report.
