Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed that employ facial recognition to create, maintain and use databases that store data records of individuals. In particular, systems and methods are disclosed that employ facial recognition to control the production of identification cards that include an image of a person's face and demographic data. Preferrably, the systems and methods include lensing modules adapted for efficiently identifying within a picture image the location of a person's face.
