Facial recognition method and related product

A mobile terminal, comprising a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, a front camera and a memory, wherein the central processing unit, the graphics processing unit, the front camera and the memory are coupled with each other, wherein

• the memory is configured to store a face feature template;
• the front camera is configured to acquire a face image;
• the central processing unit is configured to extract face feature information from the face image and to match the face feature information with the face feature template;
• and
• the graphics processing unit is configured to perform liveness detection according to the face image when the central processing unit extracts the face feature information from the face image and matches the face feature information with the face feature template;
• wherein a length of time required for extracting and matching the face feature information is less than a length of time required for the liveness detection, and a length of time required for facial recognition is equal to the length of time required for the liveness detection.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having a computer program for electronic data exchange stored thereon, wherein the computer program causes a computer to perform the method comprising:

• acquiring a face image by a mobile terminal;
• extracting face feature information from the face image and matching the face feature information with a predetermined face feature template by a central processing unit of the mobile terminal;
• performing liveness detection according to the face image by a graphics processing unit of the mobile terminal when the central processing unit extracts the face feature information from the face image and matches the face feature information with the predetermined face feature template;
• wherein a length of time required for extracting and matching the face feature information is less than a length of time required for the liveness detection, and a length of time required for facial recognition is equal to the length of time required for the liveness detection.
