A facial recognition system that is both extremely scalable and
easily configurable, 3M Live Face Identification System uses live
video to match identities in real time. The system automatically
recognizes multiple faces simultaneously from live or imported
footage in order to identify individual people from dynamic,
uncontrolled environments. Faces are captured and matched in real
time, and any connected desktop PC or mobile device is notified
immediately when there is a hit against the database. This process
allows security and law enforcement officers to take action quickly
and help prevent an issue before it occurs.
“Developed through years of thoughtful research, Live Face
Identification System increases the accuracy of matches and the
likelihood of a successful ID by utilizing a several-to-many
comparison,” said Christopher Ede, Global Business Manager for 3M
Cogent. “Knowing the challenges that law enforcement and border
patrol agents are faced with when providing security for
uncontrolled environments, 3M’s new software is truly an effective
yet practical solution for proactive security.”
3M Live Face Identification System was designed with ease of use
and integration in mind. Users are able to choose how they store
and manage data with Live Face Identification System’s flexible
server deployment. Additionally, the software captures images from
a wide range of compatible cameras that are connected to the
server, ensuring no proprietary hardware is needed. The system can
also be scaled from a local to national level simply by connecting
more devices.
“Biometric technology is changing the way we design security
systems,” said Christopher Ede. “Facial recognition is the next
step in increasing the accuracy and effectiveness of public safety
programs, and the 3M Live Face Identification System provides a
powerful and non-obtrusive solution for law enforcement and border
agents.”
In addition to law enforcement and border management agencies,
this new technology can be leveraged in the commercial and private
security industry, as well. Versatile and responsive, 3M Live Face
Identification System lends itself to securing spaces like casinos,
sport stadiums, banks and cruise line boarding areas. Whether
supporting access control initiatives or working to identify a
suspect at large, this new security solution provides confidence
and efficiency to a wide range of security teams and vertical
markets.
Other key features of the new 3M Live Face Identification System
include:
- A Dashboard Watch List: allowing
users to enroll and categorize over one million faces as “cleared”
or “not cleared” in a customized watch list.
- Investigation Support: users can
import live footage and still images from a range of cameras not
connected to the system, allowing investigators the ability to
utilize the several-to-many approach to more swiftly and accurately
identify suspects in criminal investigations.
- Customizable Software Developer’s
Kit: capture-and-match algorithms are also available in a
robust software development kit so users can integrate one-to-one
matching via 3M document readers in order to create a custom
security solution.
