The rampant spread of COVID-19 around the globe continues to challenge public health officials and governments alike to find ways to manage the spread of the disease until an effective vaccine can be developed. This challenge has led to new and novel approaches, particularly in the use of technology. One of the most recent technology applications to control the spread of the virus is the use of security cameras combined with facial recognition software.
Facial recognition is part of a computer software category that uses video content analysis (VCA) technology. VCA technology uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect objects within a video image and then extract, identify, classify, and index them for a broad range of applications.
