This technology compares your live image to the image it will use for referencing, this makes the original users face easily recognizable as it even uses aspects of human faces features like mouths and eyes. In simpler words this technology takes a picture and then compare it with the list of images involved with the users account on the iDevice and compare whether the two face match or not and if the faces match to the images, you will be given the access to your phone.

As this is going to be just an app, it sure that we not be seeing this face recognition technology in the iOS so soon anyways let presume that this will be far more better face recognition technology than Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich has.
