Biometric technology for real-time video surveillance ID: "Face recognition - Vilnius, Lithuania-based Neurotechnology has unveiled VeriLook Surveillance SDK, a new biometric technology for real-time face identification using video surveillance cameras.
According to the company, the software development kit enables detection of faces in motion and then matches them against an internal database, such as a watch-list of crime suspects or a list of authorized personnel.
The company contrasts its latest offering with its VeriLook 3.2 and other facial recognition systems that require users to actively look into a camera. VeriLook Surveillance, the company says, can be used in 'passive user' situations at airports, retail stores and other locations where people may not be looking directly into the camera. It can also be used for easy time-and-attendance control because it can automatically count or recognize individuals as they pass through entry points.
Once a face is detected, it is tracked in all successive frames of video until it disappears from camera view. Face appearance, tracking and disappearance events are reported to the system."
