Technology
Leading the industry
For more than a decade, independent evaluations of face recognition algorithms have demonstrated Cognitec‘s leadership position in the industry and the outstanding accuracy and speed of our FaceVACS® technology.
Algorithmic research and optimization since 1995 have resulted in outstanding independence from facial variances such as pose, mimic, age variance, different hair styles, glasses or temporary lighting changes.
Biometric performance
Accuracy and reliability of the recognition engine determine the quality of face recognition systems. Our latest algorithm B7T8, released in 2012, exceeds the performance of algorithms we submitted to recent independent vendor tests.
See the identification performance improvement from 2002 to 2012.

The face recognition system
A face recognition system, like any biometric system, includes the core functionalities of:
For faces, these additional functionalities are of particular interest:
