FaceVACS Engine
enables clients to develop new face recognition and facial image analysis applications
Cognitec's products incorporate state-of-the-art technologies relevant to working with facial images, in particular deep learning, computer vision, and pattern recognition technologies. Algorithmic optimization since 1995 has resulted in superior independence from facial variances such as pose, mimic, age variance, different hair styles, glasses or temporary lighting changes.
Customers can license Cognitec's core technology, the FaceVACS® Engine, through customized software development kits.
Latest developments
Recent R&D initiatives have again raised general accuracy levels for Cognitec’s main matching algorithm. In particular, the latest version is showing remarkably robust test results for facial images with extreme pose angles.
We have released the new matching algorithm B15 in version 9.9 of the FaceVACS Engine, with novel algorithm training methods and a new face finder contributing to substantial performance upgrades.
The new Engine version also introduces the ISO 39794-5 compliance check for MRTD and general purpose images.
It also includes the new A21 algorithm with smaller memory footprint for mobile application development.
Please schedule a meeting with your account manager to discuss the new version in more detail!
