Possibly the most critical, and yet most challenging facial recognition application is watchlist searching. Every day thousands of people walk through our airports, borders, and transportation hubs without being checked for face matches against known terrorists.
To date, no facial recognition solution has solved this problem because comparing surveillance photos to watchlist databases is nearly impossible for traditional 2D systems. This failure is a result of problems that cannot be solved with secluded checkpoint booths or specially designed access control stations. The diverse lighting conditions and camera angles commonly found in public areas cause most facial recognition systems to fail.
The SureMatch 3D Suite for WatchList from Genex Technologies is the only solution that can address the critical public need for security in open areas. The system works by converting watchlist databases from limited 2D photos into dynamic 3D face models. Genex’s 3D FaceMap application makes this conversion using sophisticated algorithms to achieve accurate 3D face images. With the enhanced 3D data, the 3D Enroll component generates multiple 2D photos under different pose, lighting, and expression conditions. The result is a SureMatch 3D “enhanced” database that enables 2D recognition systems to achieve superior performance.
With SureMatch 3D for WatchList, public safety officials can gain new eyes in large spaces by more effectively comparing visitors to known threats.
Transform 2D to 3D
3D FaceMap converts 2D images into life-like and accurate “virtual 3D” images. Now existing watchlist databases with thousands of 2D photos can be harnessed for next-generation 3D detection capabilities.
Generate Multiple 2D from 3D
3D Enroll takes a 3D image and creates dozens of 2D images with varying pose, lighting, and expression. SureMatch 3D enables 2D databases to contain “three-dimensional information.”
