Cognitec Releases Video Analytics Product with Advanced Anonymous Face Recognition Technology
DRESDEN, Germany --(Business Wire)--
Cognitec Systems has released the highly advanced version of
FaceVACS-VideoScan, the first video screening and analysis technology to
support security personnel, marketing departments, and operations
management. The application now employs anonymous face recognition
technology to analyze the count, flow and demographics of people visible
in video streams while protecting privacy and data security.
Surpassing traditional video surveillance systems, FaceVACS-VideoScan
detects people's faces in live video streams or video footage and stores
anonymous information for each appearance in front of a camera. Analysis
of this information over time allows the software to compute people
count, demographical information, people movement in time and space, and
to detect frequent visitors and crowds.
For example, operators can receive an alarm if too many people gather in
a specific area and measure waiting times to direc traffic. The
analysis of traffic patterns and demographical statistics over long
periods of time can provide businesses with precise visitor data to make
interior design, advertising placement, staffing and other operational
decisions.
Since the technology can analyze a face for gender, age and ethnicity as
people approach a camera, it can trigger the display of a targeted
message on a digital sign or other advertising/message devices.
On the other hand, Cognitec's premier face recognition technology allows
for real-time comparison of faces to image databases to instantly find
known individuals. Businesses and organizations can detect and prevent
unwanted behavior in much faster and more efficient ways, as security
staff can track individuals online, or receive alerts on mobile devices
to act within the immediate vicinity of a suspect. In addition,
real-time identification of authorized individuals or high-ranking
customers can prompt access to restricted areas or alert personnel to
provide special treatment.
Cognitec is presenting the technology next at Digital Signage Expo in
Las Vegas and Retail Business Technology Expo in London.
