Multan airport 4th in country to get Facial Recognition System
"New system will check illegal international transportation," says CAA spokesperson
The Multan International Airport (MIAP) has become the fourth in the country to have a functional Facial Recognition System, a Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) spokesperson confirmed Friday.
The system is already functional at airports in Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore.
The spokesperson said the system would be of great help to border agencies at Multan International Airport, adding that it would check illegal international transportation.
Officials from the Japan International Cooperation System (JICS) imparted training to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Civil Aviation Authority officials at MIAP in this regard, he stated.
"The cooperation between Japanese and Pakistani governments for strengthening the security system at our airports is a continuous process," the spokesperson added.
The Facial Recognition System is typically employed to authenticate users through ID verification services and works by pinpointing and measuring facial features from a given image.
It is a category of biometric security. Other forms of biometric software include voice, fingerprint recognition, and eye retina or iris recognition.
