World’s Highest-Performance Face Recognition Tech to Be Exposed

A new face recognition server software using deep learning technology will be released this year. This high-precision face recognition software can identify faces that are difficult to recognize with conventional technologies, including faces at an angle of up to 45 degrees to the left or right or 30 degrees up or down, and those partially hidden by sunglasses.

In April 2017, the technology, developed by Panasonic, achieved the highest level of face recognition performance in the world in a comparison test of the NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology), one of the most authoritative institutes in the world.

The Face Recognition Server Software WV-ASF950 and the Face Registration Expansion Kit WV-ASFE951W will be launched in July outside Japan and in August 2018 in Japan.
