B+Safe presents its facial recognition system with mask and temperature control

The new system is based on the latest computer vision technology, which records up to 50.000 facial templates, incluso con mascarilla, with a recognition speed of less than 0,3 seconds.

The technology company B+Safe, the Spanish subsidiary of the specialist in health and safety technologies for companies Grupo Almas Industries, has developed an access control solution designed for the prevention of contagions and worker safety, as it performs access control through facial recognition, incluso con mascarilla, and measures each person's temperature.

The new system uses a powerful algorithm for facial recognition, based on the latest computer vision technology, which allows both facial verification (also with a mask) y que se completa con la de detección de temperatura corporal que lleva la cámara, que permite o no el acceso de las personas, con una desviación de ± 0.3 °C.

Al no existir contacto físico en el proceso de control, se evita cualquier posibilidad de contagio y que accedan personas con fiebre a una instalación. El sistema permite registrar hasta 50.000 facial templates, with a recognition speed of less than 0,3 segundos por cara.

Como explica Nuño Azcona, CEO de B+Safe, “gracias a su tecnología sin contacto y al control de temperatura, esta nueva solución puede ayudar en la vigilancia de enfermedades transmisibles. N umerosas empresas se están poniendo en contacto con nosotros para proteger a las personas en el acceso a sus instalaciones, como empresas, factories, schools, edificios comerciales y más”.

This solution also incorporates anti-spoofing technology, which prevents false positives, discards black & white and color photographs, videos, and 3D masks. In addition, it features an intelligent energy-saving design, which evaluates a distance of up to 2,5 metros (between the user and the device) using a microwave detector before activating the recognition system.

The system is equipped with a CMOS sensor camera of 2 MP, with WDR function and starlight, to recognize faces in extreme lighting conditions (0,5 lux – 50.000 lux), as well as an 8” touch screen with 400 lux, which offers better visibility in bright light.

It can also operate in temperature ranges from -30º to 60°C, for which it has IK04 protection for outdoor use and IP68 dustproof and waterproof.
