Definition of Identification and Recognition

Identification

Identification refers to the process of establishing or verifying the identity of an individual, object, or entity. It involves collecting and analyzing relevant information, such as personal details, biometric data, or unique characteristics, to determine and authenticate the identity of the subject in question.

Recognition

Recognition, often used in conjunction with identification, is the act of acknowledging or confirming the identity of a known subject. It typically involves comparing collected data or characteristics with pre-existing databases or known information to establish a match or similarity.
