Company Profile

• Face Recognition Technology for Automated Border Control

  FaceVACS-Entry combines smart hardware for image acquisition with market-leading software for verification processes, and is ready for integration into electronic gates (eGates) at border control checkpoints. The technology allows travelers to complete self-service border control procedures in less than 15 seconds.

  The system detects the person’s face, adjusts the position of the cameras according to the person’s height and then captures best-quality images that guarantee high verification accuracy. The software instantly verifies the live images against biometric photos stored in passports, other ID documents and/or facial image databases.

  A proprietary sensor, able to distinguish between human faces and artifacts like printed images and masks, detects presentation attacks.

• Face Recognition Technology for Airport Security, Passenger Screening, and People Flow Management

  FaceVACS-VideoScan detects and identifies persons of interest in real time while computing demographic and behavioral data, supporting security staff and operations management in one application.

  The application detects people’s faces in live video streams or video footage and stores video sequences of cropped faces (face streams) for each appearance in front of a camera.

  Anonymous analysis of all face streams over time allows the software to compute people count, demographical information, people movement in time and space, and to detect frequent visitors and crowds.

  FaceVACS-VideoScan also performs real-time identity checks against image databases to find known persons and alert appropriate staff.
