State of Facial Recognition Technology
This report provides a detailed assessment of facial recognition from an
industry and technology perspective. The report leverages years of hands-on
experience testing and deploying facial recognition technology, years of
interaction with leading facial recognition vendors, and extensive evaluation of
the technology for large-scale applications.
The report profiles key facial recognition vendors, including Identix,
Viisage and Cognitec, and provides facial recognition market projections through
2007. It also examines significant facial recognition deployments and the impact
of facial recognition's incorporation in machine readable travel document
applications. The report offers an in-depth analysis of facial recognition
performance tests such as FRVT 2002, discusses the use of facial recognition in
multimodal biometric applications, and details relevant facial recognition
standards.
The report also examines the emergence of 3D facial recognition technology
and details the landscape of the 3D facial recognition marketplace, profiling
vendors such as 3Dbiometrics, A4Vision, Geometrix, Neurodynamics and Genex
Technologies.
