NEC NeoFace IDM: facial recognition software for video surveillance applications

This artificial intelligence app allows you to create groups of subjects based on their level of similarity and conduct searches for specific patterns at high speed. Analyze more than a million easy images 10 Seconds.

NeoFace Image Data Mining (NeoFace IDM) it's software, developed by Nec, who uses artificial intelligence (Ai) to quickly and accurately search for objects or people in images captured by CCTV security cameras.

NeoFace IDM can search within a database of facial images and can also detect subjects appearing at specific times and locations or in a scene along with other individuals.

The software can be used in a variety of applications such as criminal investigations or searching for lost children.

NeoFace IDM combines facial recognition technology with Profiling Across Spatio-Temporal Data, that creates groups of subjects based on their level of similarity and conducts high-speed searches for specific patterns.

This technology allows you to classify objects and similar people from multiple videos according to different criteria such as time, place and behavior.

By merging the two technologies it is possible to analyze more than a million easy images in just 10 seconds and detect people who look similar, whether in specific times or long periods of time in one place. After identifying it, it organizes the information with a tree-shaped structure, that allows the search for similar objects by comparing the level of similarity of each group instead of comparing the objects one by one.

“In recent years, there has been a growing demand for tools that facilitate advanced analysis of camera-captured images for use in security and marketing applications. NeoFace IDM meets this demand, providing high speed in searches, providing high accuracy according to specific patterns. A level that could not be achieved through manual searches or conventional technologies", explains Noritaka Taguma, General Manager of Transportation and City Infrastructure Division of NEC Corporation.
