Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed a software for mobile phones that can track your facial features in real-time. Eventually it will be able to tell who the user is, where they are looking and even how they are feeling。

　　曼彻斯特大学的科学家们日前研发出了一款可以实施追踪人类面部表情的手机软件。据悉，该软件能够让手机辨认主人并识别主人看向哪里以及感受如何。

　　The method is believed to be unrivalled for speed and accuracy and could lead to facial recognition replacing passwords to log into internet sites from a mobile phone。

　　据了解，这种新技术在速度以及精确性方面独一无二，从而使手机用户通过脸孔识别技术而非密码登陆网站成为可能。

　　"Existing mobile face trackers give only an approximate position and scale of the face," said Dr Phil Tresadern, lead researcher on the project. He said the new model has a camera on the front and captures a video of the user's face and tracks twenty-two facial features. "This can make face recognition more accurate, and has great potential for novel ways of interacting with your phone."

　　“现有的移动面孔追踪器只能提供大概的位置信息以及脸部比例，”该项目首席研究员菲尔-特雷萨登说道。他称装有新软件的手机模型在前方装有摄像头，可以录制用户面孔的样子，并捕捉到22个面部特征。“这就使得脸孔识别技术更加精确，且为人与手机互动的种种新奇方式创造了巨大契机。”

　　Face verification is already used in laptops and webcams but this is the first time the technology is being used with such sophistication in mobile devices such as smartphones。

　　据悉，脸孔识别技术已经在便携电脑及网络摄影机中有所应用，但该技术被成熟地用在诸如手机这样的移动设备上还是第一次。

　　The new software, built on 20 years of research at the University, has been demonstrated on a Nokia N900 for the EU-funded "Mobile Biometrics" (MoBio) project。

　　作为曼彻斯特大学20年的研究成果，该款新型软件已被安装在诺基亚N900进行展示，为欧盟资助的“移动剂量生物学”工程做宣传。
