• Facial recognition is a biometric software application capable of uniquely identifying or verifying a person by comparing and analyzing patterns based on the person’s facial contours.
• Most of FRT systems use three main components: a camera; a database of stored images; and an algorithm that creates a “faceprint” from images captured by the camera to compare with the database images.
• Faceprint is made of distinctive details about a face, such as distance between the eyes, identified by the FR algorithms.
• DigiYatra (DY) app is a Biometric Enabled Seamless Travel experience (BEST) based on Facial Recognition Technology.

• Concerns Include: Surveillance, Inaccuracy, Misidentification, Risk of surveillance creep, May lead to violation of FR’s (Art 21 & 19), Data Protection, Cyber security, Identity theft, Tech incapability's.
