Windows 10: With facial recognition as the default sign in method - if you aint quick it reverts to...

With facial recognition as the default sign in method - if you are not in position within a few seconds it reverts back to the pin login screen and then you have to click the sign in options prompt to display, the two icons in my case where the sign in options prompt was, which is really pointlessly tedious why not just have the icons there in the first place and lose the prompt or just have it as a title header- is there away to achieve this?

Facial recognition

Hello Bill,

We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we will know why the facial recognition quit working:

• Have you recently made any changes/updates prior to this issue?
• Is there an error message when you try to sign using facial recognition?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

In the meantime, I would suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps in this
article.

We will wait for your response.

Regards.

Hi Dawn,





Based on the details you have provided, you can follow these steps to set a new scan for facial recognition:

• 
  On the
  Start
  button, go to
  Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.
  
• 
  Under
  Windows Hello, choose
  camera setup option.
  
• 
  Select
  Remove
  to delete or remove the previous facial recognition setup.
  
• 
  To setup a new facial recognition setup, go to
  Set Up > Get Started.
  
• 
  Follow the instructions to scan your face and click
  Finish.
  

Let us know how it goes.



Regards.

 

Facial Recognition Method Reads Vein Patterns




Facial recognition methods are generally regarded as a pretty reliable method of biometric identification, but if you’ve seen one too many Mission: Impossible episodes, you’ll know that they are not by any means failproof.

However, a new facial recognition method developed by researchers with India’s Jadavpur University brings a unique take on traditional facial ID system: it can identify someone based on their face’s blood vessel patterns.

Apparently vein patterns are as unique as one’s fingerprint, but a lot tougher to duplicate, so security specialists have begun looking at ways of using these patterns for identification systems for a while now. Many palm and fingerprint scanners on the market are already able to analyze vein patterns, even from a distance, with the help of infrared technology.

The same kind of technology was used by Indian scientists when developing their facial vein pattern identification system.

By using a thermal imaging camera, the system performs an infrared scan of a person’s face. The resulting image is then processed and analyzed by a computer, being run through a special algorithm that can detect all the veins and arteries, down to the smallest capillaries.

The system has an impressive accuracy rate of 97% and according to scientists, it is virtually impossible to foil, unlike other biometric systems that are based on fingerprint or eye scanning.

Fabricating a realistic mask that can accurately simulate another person’s facial pattern is almost impossible. Moreover, no matter how good the mask is, the infrared camera would still detect the imposter’s own blood vessel patterns, researchers explained.

The impressive accuracy rate of this method makes it ideal for high-security systems. For the best results, scientists suggest using this method together with other forms of identification such as photo ID, PIN codes, security cards, etc.

What do you think of this method of identification based on facial vein patterns? Is it as reliable as it sounds?
