I'm on the team that develops the Aureus3Dv facial recognition platform. We have clients using FR for all kinds of purposes, primarily knowledge of known people's presence in a given location, or knowledge of an unknown person in a given location. These situations are typically for automated doorways, identification (or non-identification) of people in retail / hospitality / secure scenarios. Typically it is about two things: safety of the people and assets at the location, and knowledge of the composition of traffic. For small organizations, like an art gallery, the adoption of FR is triggered by theft. For medium sized orgs, the adoption of FR is often safety of staff and security of assets. For large organizations, it is all of the previous plus hospitality / retail knowledge of who is in their spaces.
