Innovatrics’ facial recognition algorithm now ranks among global top 10

In the border control scenario Innovatrics’ latest iteration of facial recognition breaks into the top 10 of NIST FRTE 1:N ranking of over 150 contestants. The algorithm is similarly strong in all other scenarios as well, proving its robustness and flexibility

The latest benchmarks from the NIST prove continuous improvements for the Innovatrics facial recognition algorithm. Its latest iteration has just broken into the global top 10 in the border control scenario, where a photo is compared to a portrait from a visa application. “With the latest FRTE 1:N submissions, Innovatrics has proven once again that it is among the top ranking vendors in all three modalities – fingerprints, irises, and faces,” explains Innovatrics CTO Jakub Sochor.

This is the ranking among over 150 different face recognition vendors. Innovatrics is concentrating on having a robust, flexible algorithm and the latest benchmark results prove it. While the border control shows the best results, the other scenarios are not that far off, ranking 8th to 20th. “Our strong suit is having an algorithm that performs equally well across all the important use cases,” says head of ABIS business unit in Innovatrics Matus Kapusta.

Out of the companies that provide complex identification solutions known as ABIS (Automated Biometric Identification System), Innovatrics is number three in the top 10 facial recognition algorithms, the other two being much larger companies NEC and Idemia.
