Company also unveils the concept of real-time facial recognition for smart cities at Expo Seguridad
Mexico, June 28. — NtechLab, one of the global leaders in the field of facial recognition, is unveling the concept of smart city real-time facial recognition command and control centers for combating crime and finding missing people.
The announcement on the sideline of Expo Seguridad exhibition is being promoted by NtechLab and its strategic partner INT Intelligence & Telecom Technologies. Both companies are jointly advocating the immense benefits of facial recognition software for security services and commercial clients in Mexico.
Facial recognition technology empowers governments and security services to respond to incidents, with speed and confidence. It employs high-precision, real-time facial recognition mode in a video stream. Images are compared with a database of wanted individuals. If there is a match, the system notifies law enforcement immediately. The entire process, from the appearance of the person in front of a camera to law enforcement receiving a signal, takes milliseconds.
The technology can also provide commercial companies, such as retail stores, exhibition halls and shopping malls, with rich audience analytics. This includes visitor numbers, including segmentation based on gender and age, the average length of visit time and whether attendees are new or regular visitors. Another application of the technology is in access control and attendance management systems based on facial recognition.
Liana Meliksetyan, Chief Commercial Officer, NtechLab said: «Today, more than 50 to 70% of all criminal cases are already investigated in major cities with the help of video surveillance and facial recognition systems. The NtechLab facial recognition system has been used to solve more than 50,000 crimes. We also see major decrease up to 80% in crimes, including thefts, robberies, and murders, in the cities which have been using facial recognition for three years and more. Now, our system has already been sold to Mexico and other 25 countries.»
Jose Lopez Martin, Head of Latin America Regional Office, NtechLab added: «From 2019 to 2021, the accuracy of facial recognition exceeded 99.99%, and the number of errors decreased by 20 times. The accuracy of facial recognition depends on factors such as camera location, image quality, and weather conditions. Under perfect conditions, the number of errors in facial recognition systems today does not exceed one in 50 million operations. Such factors as gender, facial aging, or, for example, the presence of makeup, practically don’t affect the recognition accuracy which illustrates the enormous potential of this system.»
