Face recognition is considered the least intrusive biometric measure and has a high degree of accuracy when used for one-to-one matching. The ePassport photo provides a portable biometric identifier meaning the traveller does not have to enrol or register. A Customs and Border Protection officer can also undertake manual backup without needing to be a fingerprint or iris recognition expert.
