Facial Characteristics: Fake Names

Recognition Program Dept: During the past two years, ICBC has investigated 600 potential frauds -and convicted many of those people -by using the technology, which compares a cardholder's photo with their existing image on file and an entire database of millions of photographs, according to Vancouver Sun. " The technology recognizes if somebody has a licence in another name, another licence in their own name or a prohibition on a licence," said ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman and insurance Corp. of B.C. is crediting its two-year-old facial recognition program with helping to bust identity thieves who are using everything from fake names to dead children's identities to get a driver's licence or B.C. identity card. The technology analyzes facial characteristics that never change, such as the size and location of a person's cheekbones and the distance between the eyes. In the past, ICBC would just compare the driver's image to a photo on file. As reported in the news.
