Effective, accurate and quick: Mobile deployment of Facial Recognition technology.
As Facial Recognition technology improves and as networks and devices become capable of handling more data the traditional use cases for use, Live or Retrospective, can be augmented by the addition of Operator-Initiated Facial Recognition (OIFR).
OIFR allows law enforcement officers to capture a photograph of an individual using a mobile device and then immediately compare that image against a database of reference images to verify the person’s identity.
Designed to be used in real-time, or near-real-time, scenarios, an image is uploaded to a facial recognition system. The system provides the officer with a list of possible matches, ranked by confidence level. The officer can then use this information to make informed decisions about the individual’s identity and any necessary actions.
OIFR is particularly useful in situations where quick identification is crucial. For example:
- Public Safety: Officers can identify persons of interest during patrols or at crime scenes.
- Event Security: At large public events, OIFR can help identify individuals who may pose a security risk.
- Missing Persons: To quickly identify missing persons or individuals who are unable to identify themselves.
The addition of OIFR capabilities to your Facial Recognition portfolio brings further benefits to your organisation in terms of significantly reducing the time required to identify individuals and providing the flexibility and convenience of mobile deployment, keeping your officers in the field and available instead of having to visit local stations to access systems.
