There is a misperception that face recognition algorithms do not work on persons of color, or are otherwise inaccurate in general. This is not true. The truth is that across a wide range of applications, modern face recognition algorithms achieve remarkably high accuracy on all races, and accuracy continues to improve at an exponential rate.

Hardware requirements for video processing applications – Part 1: Template generation
When automated face recognition technology is used for analyzing streaming video, an important question is: how much computer hardware is needed? The hardware required to process video depends on several factors which will be discussed in this article.
Hardware requirements for video processing applications – Part 2: Template comparison
In this article we explain how to factor in the computational demand for template comparison in video processing applications. While this task is not as computational burdensome as template generation, for larger-scale applications it can become meaningful.
How Forensic Face Recognition Works
Law enforcement primarily uses face recognition as a post-incident forensic tool to enable detectives and analysts to generate investigative leads in violent and harmful crimes. In this article we explain how forensic face recognition works, and how it is used by law enforcement in this country.
10 Steps for Selecting a Face Recognition Algorithm
Follow these 10 steps to success when selecting face recognition SDK or system.
Procuring a Face Recognition Algorithm: Efficiency Considerations
This article will equip you with the knowledge to assess the efficiency requirements of your face recognition system. In turn, you will be able to factor this important consideration into your procurement process and potentially eliminate certain algorithms before the time consuming step of performing internal evaluations.
Evergreen Licensing
Perhaps no technology is improving as rapidly as automated face recognition. For example, over the last two years Rank One has reduced the False Non-Match Rate of our algorithm by over 10x: Other face recognition vendors are similarly improving their accuracy at a rapid pace. However, despite these relentless improvements, many vendors are also denying […]
Emerging Trends in Commercial Face Recognition
Face recognition technology is rapidly expanding as a convenience technology that allows quick and secure access to sensitive systems and facilities, and for people to ubiquitously interact with their environments. This article highlights the most prominent commercial applications of face recognition technology that are emerging.
Procuring a Face Recognition Algorithm: How to Measure Accuracy
Choosing a face recognition algorithm that meets your accuracy requirements can be a daunting process. We simplify this process with a straightforward guide on how to measure algorithm accuracy and determine which algorithms are viable for your application.
How Automated Face Recognition Works
Automated face recognition algorithms rely on highly complex mathematical models, but at a high level many of the techniques performed are rather easy to understand. In this article we provide a high level guide of how automated face recognition algorithms work.
