piXlogic’s piXserve image and video search and analytics platform offers powerful, standards based facial recognition capabilities. A facial recognition system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. piXlogic’s facial recognition capabilities are built using its general object recognition capabilities according to standards set forth for facial recognition by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. In facial recognition a big hurdle is to know where the face to be measured is found on the image. To solve this, typical systems require that the distance between the camera and the subject be within a predefined range. Lighting variations are also critical which is why the more successful implementations are limited to indoor, entry-way, type of set-ups. Outdoor video in unconstrained environments presents a challenge that is outside the realm of most commercial solutions available today. piXlogic differentiates itself from other facial recognition vendors because its facial recognition works well in both indoor situations with standard lighting as well as outdoor unconstrained environments. Figure 1 shows a facial match using an image captured from an iphone searching across multiple face databases with 2500 plus images.
