NtechLab & FindFace
in the media

Facial recognition is a growing tech trend, allowing for multiple innovations. With NtechLab, users can find people by their looks, with a single photo.

NtechLab co-founders talk to Fox News about how does the facial technology work in a special report by Fox News.

Imagine a smartphone app that lets anyone take a picture of anyone and then find that person on social networks. Now stop imagining. Watch ‘Hello World’ host Ashlee Vance test out FindFace on the streets of Moscow.

One of the world’s leading facial recognition outfits, Russia’s NtechLab is looking to tap into the growing need for the technology among major businesses. Its new product, FindFace.Pro, is basically facial recognition as a service, with the usual conveniences of the «_aaS» model.

In an unsuspecting business park in Moscow, facial recognition is reaching new heights. It’s not from a division of Google or Microsoft, or by a covert agency, but instead by a small startup that currently employees less than ten people. The startup is NtechLab and they are changing the face of facial recognition.

Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman is throwing a rave party that will give a whole new meaning to the nightclub practice of face control. His Alfa Future People electronic-music festival, which drew more than 40,000 people last year, will be Russia’s first to use recognition software to identify partygoers and automatically send them snaps of their revelry — if they agree.

Whether it’s facial recognition on Apple’s iOS 10 or Facebook learning to recognize human faces virtually as well as another person, there’s no doubting that facial recognition technology is big business right now. But while both of those companies have massive, multi-billion dollar budgets behind them, a small Moscow-based artificial intelligence startup named NtechLab may have stumbled upon one of the best facial recognition systems around.

Russian startup NtechLab recently became a leader in the MegaFace challenge in face recognition algorithms at the University of Washington. NtechLab uses advanced techniques in the field of artificial neural networks and machine learning to develop its software products. The company’s facial recognition algorithm extracts the characteristic features of a person’s face from a picture.
