When automated face recognition technology is used for analyzing streaming video, an important question is: how much computer hardware is needed? The hardware required to process video depends on several factors which will be discussed in this article.

In this article we explain how to factor in the computational demand for template comparison in video processing applications. While this task is not as computational burdensome as template generation, for larger-scale applications it can become meaningful.

A comprehensive set of definitions and terms used when discussing face recognition technology.
