Facial Recognition Training

Automated face recognition systems are common in both law enforcement and civil applications, yet training for reviewers has not kept pace with the scope of facial images available from public and private sources. IDEMIA offers forensic face training to train and keep examiners’ skills up-to-date with best practices and knowledge on facial recognition.

The Forensic Face Training is a technology-agnostic program exploring topics like image science and processing, principles of photographic comparison, and reporting guidelines. It helps examiners improve their skills in both facial review (one-to-many) and facial identification (one-to-one) scenarios, and gain new insight into facial anatomy, dermatology, aging and facial alteration.

Practical competencies – Based on scenario training, the Forensic Face Training course covers both facial review – a 1:N comparison using output from a facial recognition system – and facial identification, a forensic 1:1 comparison to be presented in court.
In-depth analysis capabilities – Forensic Face Training teaches examiners not only to compare faces in minute detail, but also gain a deep understanding of what they are looking at, including how the specific capture conditions affect the facial image.
Technology-agnostic knowledge – Forensic Face Training is not predicated on the use of any particular facial recognition system, and coursework has been carefully developed in accordance with Facial Identification Scientific Work Group (FISWG) standards.

Selfie Checks

Selfie Checks provide fast registration and online authentication for individuals and organizations needing to quickly verify someone’s identity. IDEMIA’s devised solution, Selfie Check, uses your phone’s camera and facial recognition software to verify that it is indeed the owner who is holding the phone. At which point access is granted. When asking for authentication, IDEMIA’s innovative software solution will ask you to authenticate your identity by moving your head to the left, right or downwards; or a combination of the three. By requesting random head movements, the selfie-check ensures that the user is a real and a live person and not just a still image. Users can now remotely and securely confirm their identity against a central biometric database or against an identity document, e.g. a passport from virtually anywhere.

Extra secure – Our upgraded technology recognizes the liveness of the image, so not even the best facial reproduction can fool the camera.
Adaptable and flexible – The technology leverages the built-in camera of a smartphone, tablet or computer and is compatible with major operating systems.
User friendly – The easy-to- use interface allows even the greatest technophobe to have biometrically secure access to their phone anytime.

Augmented Vision

Today everywhere you go, there are cameras being used via CCTV streams, smartphones and more. This leaves a huge amount of digital data to go through when needed for law enforcement or for other reasons. Augmented Vision helps sense of all this available data, while protecting citizens’ and consumers’ privacy with the highest level of data protection.

Augmented Vision can be used to prevent security incidents in highly frequented public or private spaces, but also to ensure frictionless access to restricted areas. It can also interpret and tag hours and days of video streams and thousands of photos to help find subjects and objects of interest in post-event investigations. This powerful video analytics solution can be set up for three main applications.

Boost the efficiency of operators to find leads in a faster and more automated way
Provide actionable intelligence and help monitor video flow and alerts security staff on the appearance of persons of interest
Allow secure and frictionless access to authorized personnel: by detecting and identifying multiple persons approaching an access point, it brings a powerful layer on top of existing video and access control systems.

Face Expert

Face Expert can help law enforcement place a name to a face by enabling trained forensic investigators, analysts, and detectives to solve crimes thanks to automatic face finding and tracking of photos or videos. Faces from images or videos can be matched against a database to identify a wanted or missing person. Once facial images are matched, analysts can link a suspect to a crime. The application provides the ability to navigate within the database to capitalize on information from previous searches. It can also help match recently booked offenders with unsolved cases.

Easy to use and powerful, the system enables users to deal with cases using still images, videos, and difficult to process images. Its 3D modeling tool reconstructs a facial image from multiple partial views, while the image processing enhances poor quality pictures and non-frontal views.

Easy to use – Face Expert’s newly designed web interface is simple and intuitive to use.
Quick and reliable – Face Expert provides fast and accurate facial searches, with automatic face finding and tracking of photos and videos in multiple formats.
High-power processing – The powerful processing tools provided by Face Expert include pose and illumination correction, along with image 3D modeling, and case evidence management.

Ranked #1 for Accuracy

IDEMIA’s facial recognition 1:N algorithm achieved best for accuracy in the latest Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

NIST’s March 26, 2021 test results establish beyond all doubt that IDEMIA has the best identification system on the market. Taking border control systems as an example, IDEMIA achieved the best accuracy score of 99.65% correct matches out of 1.6 million face images.
