Morphology
The meaning 'the ability to identify faces' is directly and transparently derived from composing 'face' (the front part of a head) with 'recognition' (identification). This straightforward noun–noun compound follows common composition patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The term face recognition comes from the simple image of a guard matching a person's face to a photo, and today a computer does the same kind of recognition by comparing a live face to stored pictures. That's why face recognition means 'automatically identifying someone by their face'.
