Face Recognition and ID Card Integration for Criminal Identification: Trends and Applications

Abstract - The success of security infrastructure relies heavily on face recognition technology which provides dependable and fast identity verification through its systems. An analysis reviews the way facial recognition combines with ID card processing to authenticate criminal identities. The research evaluates seven different sectors that use face recognition systems: law enforcement agencies and border security departments alongside banking institutions and corporate access control points and smart city surveillance operations and healthcare establishments. The analysis includes a complete comparison of domain advantages alongside their barriers through an organized matrix system. The study first addresses implementation barriers while showing national and professional limitations (including legal and ethical restrictions) before focusing on present-day approaches (such as edge computing and multi-modal biometrics) that enhance system capabilities or emergency functions.
