LogicaCMG facial recognition trials successful

Story link: LogicaCMG facial recognition trials successful by Jan Harris

LogicaCMG achieved an 85% success rate in facial recognition technology trials at a major airport.

The company found that faces could be successfully identified in a crowd, from a distance of several meters over CCTV technology, 85% of the time, even when volunteers disguised themselves.

During the trial, volunteers’ photographs were put on a database’s suspect list, along with thousands of other photographs. The volunteers mixed with passengers at the airport and a biometric identification algorithm was used to analyse the faces in the crowds for a match.

The technology could be used for airport and border control security. It also has a number of other possible applications – facial recognition technology is already used by casinos in Las Vegas to spot cheats.

It could also be used to help reduce hooliganism at sports events or persistent shop-lifting in retail outlets.
