Why 3D smart face recognition door locks are more worth buying than 2D face recognition door locks

2025-09-30

Smart locks on the market generally use 2D facial recognition technology. This technology only captures two-dimensional facial information and is easily decrypted by images or dynamic videos, presenting significant security vulnerabilities.


With significant technological advancements, the smart lock industry is gradually phasing out 2D facial recognition and adopting the more secure 3D structured light facial recognition technology. Here's a brief explanation of the principles behind 3D structured light and how it differs from 2D facial recognition.


3D Structured Light Principle:

This technology uses an infrared projector to project light with certain structural characteristics onto the object being photographed. A specialized infrared camera then captures the light. Calculations are primarily based on the principle of triangle similarity, deriving depth information for each point in the image, ultimately generating three-dimensional data. 3D structured light facial recognition has been implemented in some smartphones, including FaceID, which uses over a billion images (IR and depth images) for training, and facial recognition developed independently by domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Its convenience and security have been proven, and it is now being used in various security scenarios. 


The Difference Between 3D and 2D Facial Recognition.

Compared to flat 2D facial recognition, 3D facial recognition can accurately distinguish between photos and videos and real people, making it less susceptible to spoofing. 3D facial recognition is also more adaptable to ambient lighting, and the system is more stable, resulting in faster and more accurate recognition without requiring active user interaction.

Overall, 3D facial recognition systems offer superior performance in terms of security, recognition accuracy, and unlocking speed, and are generally used in security-critical environments such as homes and offices.
