Post subject: Facial Recognition Technology To Prevent Underage Smoking
A Japanese company is developing a vending machine that counts wrinkles and skin sags to check a smoker's age. It plans to use face recognition technology to prevent anyone under the legal age of 20 buying cigarettes.From July vending machine companies could be prosecuted if tobacco is sold to anyone under the legal limit. Purchasers who failed a digital camera "age test" would need to show the machine an ID card to establish they were legally allowed to smoke.The Fujitaka company system compares facial characteristics including bone structure, sags and crow's feet against a record of more than 100,000 people.
