Some people doubt the accuracy and reliability of the facial recognition technology. They need not，because the technology is highly advanced. It can distinguish a human face with or without glasses. Tests show it has a precision rate of more than 99 percent.
Some argue that the fingerprint or iris (虹膜) recognition system is perhaps more accurate than the facial recognition system. True，but for iris recognition，a person has to hold his or her head still and look at the camera，which is time－consuming and thus not suitable for public spaces such as subway stations. And the fingerprint recognition system is not so secure，as some people can cheat the system by copying and using the fingerprints of other people to enter or exit a station.
Facial recognition is a rather mature system. A facial recognition system collects people’s facial images from different angles，instead of one，and therefore minimizes the chance of cheating. Actually，it is already being applied in many fields such as unlocking smartphones and computers. Besides，facial recognition technology can also help the police to hunt escaped criminals in public spaces.
However，the law says a citizen’s photo should not be collected for commercial use without his/her permission. To avoid such legal risks，some measures should be taken before the collection of passenger information. First，companies must ensure the collected facial images are only for public convenience，and will never be used for other commercial purposes，such as advertisements. Second，companies must take necessary measures to make sure not even a single one is leaked or sold to any third party without the passenger’s permission. Generally，advanced technologies are welcome to be used in public spaces，but people’s rights must be respected，at least to avoid legal risks.
