NEC NeoFace IDM: facial recognition software for video surveillance applications

This artificial intelligence application allows creating groups of subjects based on their level of similarity and carrying out searches for specific patterns at high speed. It analyzes more than one million easy images in 10 seconds.

NeoFace Image Data Mining (NeoFace IDM) is software, developed by NEC, that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to quickly and accurately search for objects or people in images captured by CCTV security cameras.

NeoFace IDM can perform searches within a database of facial images and can also detect subjects who appear at specific times and places or who are in a scene together with other individuals.

El software se puede utilizar en una variedad de aplicaciones como investigaciones criminales o la búsqueda de niños perdidos.

NeoFace IDM combina la tecnología de reconocimiento facial con Profiling Across Spatio-Temporal Data, que crea grupos de sujetos en función de su nivel de similitud y lleva a cabo búsquedas de alta velocidad para patrones específicos.

Esta tecnología permite clasificar objetos y personas similares de múltiples vídeos de acuerdo a diferentes criterios como tiempo, lugar y comportamiento.

Fusionando ambas tecnologías es posible analizar más de un millón de imágenes fáciles en solo 10 segundos y detectar personas que parecen similares, ya sea en tiempos concretos o largos periodos de tiempo en un mismo lugar. After identifying it, it organizes the information in a tree-like structure, which allows the search for similar objects by comparing the similarity level of each group rather than comparing objects one by one.

“In recent years, there has been a growing demand for tools that facilitate advanced analysis of camera-captured images for use in security and marketing applications. NeoFace IDM meets this demand, providing high-speed searches, offering great accuracy according to specific patterns. A level that could not be achieved through manual searches or conventional technologies, explains Noritaka Taguma, General Manager de Transportation and City Infrastructure Division de NEC Corporation.
