Synthetic data for face recognition calibration shows limitations in border control

A new research paper explores the use of synthetic data for calibrating face recognition systems in border control, specifically for the European Entry/Exit System (EES). While synthetic data can be useful for initial system development and calibration in controlled environments, the study found that it does not reliably generalize to real-world, unconstrained conditions. Mismatches in score distribution tails lead to degraded performance and increased vulnerability to morph-based attacks, underscoring the need for real-world data validation in high-security deployments.
