Facial Recognition

Text Box: HOW DOES FACIAL RECOGNITION WORK?
When a picture is scanned into the computer, the computer makes a face print.  A face print is a measurement of different parts of a face.  The computer will measure how wide a person's eyes are, how long their nose is, the shape of their chin, and other parts of the face.  Then the computer will scan a crowd to try to match a person in the crowd to the picture by matching the face prints.
