Facial Recognition

Facial recognition has received significant attention in the last few years and is increasingly being used for both identification (1:n) and verification (1:1) on large identity projects across the public and private sector. Facial recognition analyzes characteristics of a person's face image input through a camera and can be broadly classified into static and dynamic/video matching. Facial recognition systems at a very high level work by recognizing a human face from scene and extract it. The system then measures nodal points on the face, distance between eyes, shape of the cheekbones and other distinguishable features. These nodal points are then compared to the nodal points computed from a database of pictures in order to find a match.

Facial Identity Solutions 

HRS has extensive experience of developing and delivering solutions across both static and dynamic/video based facial recognition. Our facial recognition solutions are helping increase security and identity assurance across a variety of sectors including large government identity schemes, aviation, retail, law enforcement, healthcare, prisons etc. Our team of biometric engineers has been at the forefront of developing modular, scalable facial recognition systems allowing implementation in small systems through to very large scale government identity projects. The modularity of our solution architecture provides the flexibility to adjust its configuration to an agency/end user's changing needs.  In other words our solutions can be scaled up easily over time, saving unnecessary up-front costs. 

Facial Recognition: Driving Innovation

HRS benefits from strategic partnership with some of the leading names in the industry and has been actively involved in developing cutting edge commercial applications across both the public and private sector. More recently HRS has been instrumental in introducing dynamic facial recognition across the aviation, retail and hospitality sector. HRS continues to explore new solutions in the domain and our team of biometric engineers is currently working on developing a range of commercially robust applications around both static and dynamic facial recognition.
