Teledyne DALSA starts publishing a series of articles on facial recognition science. The first part discusses fairly generic issues, such as the resolution that humans use for facial recognition task. It's all dynamic:
"The ganglion cells in the human retina can produce the equivalent of a 600 megapixel image, but the nerve that connects to the retina can only transmit about one megapixel."
"Analysts predict that the global facial recognition market is expected to grow from USD 4.05 Billion in 2017 to USD 7.76 Billion by 2022. Companies are very interested in the possibilities of facial recognition technologies and global security concerns are driving interest in better biometric systems."
Is that true? How can you calculate the human retina's resolution in megapixels?
