Facial recognition system

A system that uses special cameras and software to measure and identify key features of a person's face.

Hardware level

The level of a facial recognition system that includes special cameras like Stereo or Time of Flight, designed to measure the 3D structure of the face.

System software level

The level of a facial recognition system that processes the facial data captured by the cameras and converts it into a unique set of numbers called a face print.

Application software level

The level of a facial recognition system where the user interacts with the system through a display interface and places the phone in front of their face.

Equity bias

A bias that leads to inequality, caused by factors such as lack of access to the internet, low levels of education, remote locations, and biased algorithms.

Things impacted by inequality

Areas such as education, business, healthcare, and economic growth that are affected by inequality.

Ways to bring technological equality

Actions such as promoting human rights, social justice, and sustainable development to achieve technological equality.

Impacts of inequality

Major impacts of inequality include the digital divide, limited upskilling, increased vulnerability, limited healthcare access, bias against disabled groups, and limited technological accessibility.

Steps to be taken to achieve equality

Steps include making technology affordable and accessible, expanding connectivity options, promoting digital literacy, designing inclusive products, and ensuring fair and unbiased algorithms.

Computer networks

Networks that allow devices to communicate with each other using protocols, such as TCP, and enable access to websites by sending requests to routers and servers.

Internet

A global network connecting millions of computers and electronic devices, operating through common protocols, and providing internet access through ISPs and IP addresses.

Network topology

Different types of network layouts, including ring, star, bus, tree, mesh, and hybrid topologies, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Ring topology

A network topology where packets flow in one direction only, with advantages such as straightforward layout and minimal cabling, but disadvantages like network shutdown if one node fails.

Star topology

A network topology where nodes are connected to a central device, with advantages such as independent nodes and easier fault detection, but disadvantages like network shutdown if the central device fails.

Bus topology

A network topology where nodes are connected to a main cable, with advantages such as cost-effectiveness and easy setup, but disadvantages like network shutdown if the main cable fails.

Tree topology

A network topology with a hierarchical structure, with advantages such as easy management and fault detection, but disadvantages like network shutdown if the central node fails and increased cabling requirements.

Mesh topology

A network topology where nodes are connected to multiple nodes, with advantages such as high fault tolerance and multiple data transfer paths, but disadvantages like complexity, difficult network planning, and increased cabling requirements.

Hybrid topology

A network topology that combines multiple topologies, with advantages such as customization and scalability, but disadvantages like complexity and increased cabling and hardware requirements.
