Facial recognition technology (人脸识别技术) is widely used
today. For example, police use it to search for bad guys. It's also used to
unlock phones or doors.
Now, a similar technology, known
as facial detection (探测), is entering a new field: the business of advertising (广告).

happy" to "very unhappy".

record any videos.
