WHAT ARE SOME SITUATIONS WHERE FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED?

 

A smart city can depend on a facial recognition system for providing seamless services. Be it opening a bank account, making payments in a retail shop or withdrawing cash from an ATM, a facial recognition system can be helpful. In this blog, we will discuss the situations where it can be used.

 

 

A biometric solution can speed up the process of entry at any place

Biometrics like face, iris scan, retina scan or fingerprints can assist in expediting the process of entry. Security personnel will not be required to facilitate the entry. Places like hospitals, commercial centers or offices can ensure a seamless flow of people without any congestion when these biometric solutions are deployed.

 

They can authenticate a person and allow only the right person

The solutions can scan through thousands of photos before finding the right match in microseconds. An entry pass is printed for the visitor once the identity is verified. A biometric solution is at least two times faster compared to traditional entry process and can be even ten times faster in certain cases. 

 

    

 For improving the experience of the visitors

A robust facial recognition system can be used for improving the experience of the visitors. When one asks how facial recognition technology can improve visitor experience, they can be provided value-added services. The other ways that it can help include the following.

Planning future events – Using NEC’s Intelligent Management Platform, An organizer can collect data on the interest shown by the visitors in a particular session and plan future shows accordingly.

Value-added Services – Customizing the experience of visitors will be possible for the organizers. Special delegates can be identified easily, and special treatment can be given.

Payments for purchases – Payments for purchases can be facilitated through facial recognition technology.

Facilitate Business – Information about participants can be made available by collecting the key data beforehand with the help of biometric solutions.

Security – Unauthorized entry of troublemakers can be checked easily with biometric solutions that use facial recognition technology. With the help of NEC’s Intelligent Management Platform, one can reduce dependence of facility staff.

Audience Engagement – Facial recognition technology can help in analyzing moods and emotions. Product descriptions and advertisements can be customized according to that.

Gateless entry is possible

There are biometric solutions that will make gateless entry possible. Gateless Biometric Authentication uses facial recognition system to allow a visitor, an employee or a worker without using any gate. Since it can authenticate a person whose face is partially covered, it is an apt example how facial recognition technology can improve visitor experience.

NEC India’s Gateless Biometric Authentication is a technology that is meant to ease congestion at trade shows and fairs. The technology developed by NEC India has made it possible to authenticate large numbers of people simultaneously. With the help of face recognition technology, Gateless Biometric Authentication can seamlessly authenticate people. Deep learning technology constructs convolutional neural networks that help the system accurately authenticate a person on the basis of the face as well as the whole body. It will be able to authenticate a person’s identity even if the face is covered with a mask. As the name suggests, no gate will be required to usher the visitors at a trade show. Registering for Gateless Biometric Authentication will not be difficult as one can do it oneself with a smartphone. When a person tries to make an unauthorized entry, an alert will be sounded for the security personnel. After being authenticated, the visitor will get an update on the mobile phone. An LED light on the ground will indicate that the person has been authenticated. A display screen will show the face of the person.

Conclusion

Facial recognition technology can help where there is a shortage of security personnel and facility staff. Use of IC cards for verification of personal details will become redundant when biometric solutions are used. A contactless entry for visitors will become possible with the help of biometric solutions. Value-added services can be offered to visitors with the help of these biometric solutions. Customization of services can be done according to the interests of the visitors. A few technologies can even make gateless entry possible.
