Innovatrics Introduces Edge Processing-Based Facial Recognition for Preemptive Security

SmartFace 5’s new cascaded architecture based on edge video processing can support real-time video analysis and facial identification from an unlimited number of cameras and other video sources. In combination with already existing features such as multiple watchlist support and smart notifications, SmartFace enables the automated real-time monitoring of airports, football stadiums and other venues with high public turnout.

SmartFace 5 combines facial recognition and anomaly detection features into a preemptive security system. 

“Our aim is to prevent security incidents at the earliest moment possible by utilizing our trusted facial recognition algorithms and real-time notification system,” explains Michal Vilagi, SmartFace Development Manager. 

Real-Time Assessment of Security Risks

Through multiple watchlists containing hundreds of thousands of faces and smart notifications, SmartFace can prevent security incidents from happening or accelerate the time to action in smart cities, airports, shopping centers, public transportation, stadiums, and other frequented places.

The SmartFace notification mechanism allows for the precise configuration of events and situations that will trigger a notification or an alert that merit an operator’s attention. 

The brand new main airport at Palmerola, Honduras has opted for SmartFace 5 as its video surveillance solution.

Edge Computing that Supports Unlimited Number of Video Sources 

Using SmartFace’s cascaded architecture, a video feed can be pre-processed on the camera, resulting in significant savings of the required network bandwidth along with server resources required at the central site.

The major advantage of this edge-to-cloud architecture is the scalability of the system, which can virtually support an unlimited number of cameras and protect entire cities without missing a single important event. It also allows the connection of as many cameras as required without overburdening the whole architecture. Moreover, SmartFace 5 can utilize GPUs to further improve the performance of the entire system. The GPUs can be both on the main server and on the edge system as well, such as in the NVIDIA Jetson device.
