Based on its recent analysis of the global facial recognition (FR) market, Frost & Sullivan has recognized Dresden-headquartered Cognitec Systems GmbH with the 2019 Global Customer Value Leadership Award.
Cognitec has leveraged its market-leading FaceVACS technology to design a broad portfolio of FR products, including FaceVACS-DBScan ID, FaceVACS-DBScan LE, FaceVACS-VideoScan, FaceVACS-Entry, and FaceVACS-PortraitAcquisition. Its accurate, real-time verification of people from images or videos expedites the investigation process and enables the reduction/prevention of fraudulent activities.
Cognitec’s superior value proposition has earned it diverse clientele in industries such as government, airports, banks, stadiums, and casinos all over the world.
“Cognitec is the only company in the world with a singular focus on building top-notch facial recognition products, including a face recognition camera and eGate panels,” said Nandini Bhattacharya, an industry analyst. “Both products ensure images of optimal quality that make real-time face recognition possible even under difficult conditions and without requiring substantial bandwidth resources or hardware components.”
Cognitec’s FaceVACS-Entry eGate panels have been instrumental in introducing face recognition for the automated passport check at airports. The product features a mix of smart hardware that captures images and checks for a live person, with cutting-edge software that facilitates verification of live images against those saved in ID documents, even in databases. FaceVACS-PortraitAcquisition ensures that high-quality images are produced in adherence to the ISO 19794-5 standard for a complete frontal photo, which makes it valuable in passport offices and driver’s license or visa agencies for both FR and identity management applications.
