First ATM with face recognition

On Friday, May 30, 2015, the world's first ATM with facial recognition system began operating in China, reports the local Xinhua agency.

From such a device it is impossible to withdraw money using someone else’s bank card, even if you know a pincode. More precisely, it is very difficult. There are weaknesses in any technology, and if people are very similar, then ATM may give an error.

However, the reliability of such systems is much higher than that of conventional facial recognition systems, for example, in outdoor video surveillance cameras. There is no need to determine the identity of the person, it is listed in the inserted bank card. It is required only to compare the face in the profile with the face in front of the ATM camera and to verify the client. This is noticeably simpler.

The device was designed and manufactured by engineers from Tsinghua University together with the technology company Tzekwan from Hong Kong.

For the analysis of age and other changes on the face of the ATM are implemented, including the algorithms of "identification of biological characteristics."

In addition, the ATM stores the numbers of all bills that the customer has inserted into the bill acceptor. Probably to improve the definition of fakes on the database. It is indicated that it recognizes "fakes" 20% better than all other ATMs. The speed of the transaction with him is also higher than that of ATMs with pincode.
