Impact Of Emerging Technology

Question 1

What does Artificial intelligence (AI) do in terms of fingerprints scanning?

Answer 1

It uses dynamic profiling; learns by using AI bout ppl’s fingerprints on every scan.
It learns from the different alignments; doesn’t need the finger in exact position.

Question 2

What does AI do in terms of facial recognition?

Answer 2

Learns from scanning a no. of faces and can pick out these soft biometric features
Can recognize faces and cross reference these features with corresponding images on database.

Question 3

What is Low-vision enhancement systems (LVES) and what do they do?

Answer 3

Uses video technology through a headset connected to a computer; allows images to be projected inside the headset in front of eyes and bring object closer to user.

Question 4

What is Night vision enhancement (NVE) and what do they do?

Answer 4

Amplifies infrared light and visible light so image can be seen in darkness .e.g. military uses in surveillance missions.

• Dim light source is captures and passed through an image intensified tube that converts the light to electrons.
• Electrons pass through another tube where they’re amplified to more no. of electrons.
• Screen at end of tube is coated in phosphate dots that glow when electrons collide = considerably clearer image.
