All facial images in Notices and Diffusions submitted by member countries are searched and stored in the facial recognition system, provided they meet the strict quality criteria needed for recognition. Participating member countries can also submit "search only" requests directly to the system, using the Biometric Hub, for example, to carry out a check on a person of interest at border crossings. The results are returned quickly to enable immediate follow-up action, and images are not recorded in the facial image database. 3, record 1, English, - facial%20image%20database

Todas las imágenes faciales contenidas en las notificaciones y difusiones que se publican a petición de los países miembros se consultan y almacenan en el sistema de reconocimiento facial, si cumplen los estrictos criterios de calidad necesarios para el reconocimiento. Los países miembros participantes también pueden solicitar que se realice una simple consulta en el sistema de reconocimiento facial, usando el Centro de Biometría, por ejemplo, para efectuar un control de personas de interés en un puesto fronterizo. En esos casos, los resultados se obtienen rápidamente para que se puedan tomar de inmediato las medidas necesarias. Las imágenes no quedan almacenadas en la base de datos de imágenes faciales. 1, record 1, Spanish, - base%20de%20datos%20de%20im%C3%A1genes%20faciales
