The face is arguably the most unique and defining feature of the human body. From birth, humans are conditioned to perceive, interpret, and react to information conveyed by faces both familiar and unfamiliar. Although face recognition is routine for humans, only recently has it become possible for a computer to accurately recognize a human face in an image or video. With advances in artificial intelligence, image capture technology, and Internet connectivity, facial recognition technology has entered the forefront of personal and commercial technology. Plastic surgeons should be prepared to answer questions from patients about the fundamentals of facial recognition technology, and the potential effects of plastic surgery on facial recognition technology performance. This article provides an overview of facial recognition technology, describes its present applications, discusses its relevance within the field of plastic surgery, and provides recommendations for plastic surgeons to consider during preoperative discussions with patients.
脸可以说是人体最独特和最具决定性的特征。从出生起，人类就被训练去感知、解释和对熟悉和不熟悉的面孔所传达的信息做出反应。虽然人脸识别对人类来说是常规操作，但直到最近，计算机才有可能准确识别图像或视频中的人脸。随着人工智能、图像采集技术和互联网连接性的进步，人脸识别技术已经成为个人和商业技术的前沿领域。整形外科医生应该准备好回答患者关于人脸识别技术基础以及整形手术对面部识别技术性能的潜在影响的问题。本文概述了人脸识别技术，描述了其目前的应用，讨论了它在整形外科学领域的相关性，并为整形外科医生在与患者进行术前讨论时提供了一些建议。
