Image Recognition
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has determined that facial recognition systems can work well, although some – but not all – still show performance demographic differentials, according to a report DHS released on Feb 23. The 2022 Biometric Technology Rally challenged industry to produce face recognition systems capable of autonomously identifying small groups of people passing through the system. The results of the facial recognition testing showed drastic improvement in algorithms and utilization possibility. However, the errors that did come up generally came from the cameras being tested, not the facial recognition algorithms. Despite the technological challenges, DHS believes that facial recognition can work, and the technology has potential use cases in sea, land, and airport locations.
