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
Highly focused and innovative R&D initiatives have again raised accuracy levels of Cognitec’s main matching algorithm and its age estimation technology. In addition, the latest versions are showing remarkably robust test results for facial images with masks.
We have released both matching algorithms B14 and A20 in version 9.7 of the FaceVACS Engine, with advanced deep learning methods and a faster, more robust face finding algorithm contributing to substantial performance upgrades.
The new A20 algorithm advances the performance in low-memory footprint environments, serving Linux-on-Arm and Android platforms.
Please schedule a meeting with your account manager to discuss the new version in more detail!
