With a mission to recognize the faces of the people entering/exiting the premises of the Government Institution in Indonesia, and analyze their attributes in real time, the authorities needed an extremely robust and ‘highly secured’ facial recognition system. Due to heavy footfall at the premises, it was difficult for the staff to manually record information of visitors and verify their identities on daily basis. Sometimes, they faced challenges in verifying them due to changes in appearance or features.
The Videonetics MeraFace solution
The Videonetics MeraFace - facial recognition software was selected after a thorough technical evaluation by the partner as well as government decision-makers, Videonetics MeraFace was selected for its highest accuracy in recognizing and detecting faces, in varied lighting condition, providing additional attributes of gender, age and emotions, and comprehensive statistical reporting. Operating 24x7x365 on one of the busiest premises and having footfall from VIPs, citizens, media, and government officials, Videonetics MeraFace was deployed at strategic locations with high human traffic flows, including entry and exit and lift lobby areas of the institution.
