Cognitec Systems, the face recognition company, has concluded extensive research and development efforts to greatly advance the accuracy and speed of its face matching algorithm. The high-performance algorithm has been integrated into Cognitec’s FaceVACS engine and is now available in new releases of all market-focused Cognitec products.
In-house tests show leading-edge performance levels on a variety of large datasets across typical face recognition applications. These datasets range from passport-style images as found in national ID databases, to mugshot-style images typically used by law enforcement agencies, and facial images turned away from a frontal pose, as recorded by video cameras. Another test shows an accuracy boost for matching low-quality passport-style images to live camera images, the process used for automated border control in eGates.
