Surat City Police has deployed face recognition software for surveillance and investigation. The solutions were provided by NEC India and Innovative Telecom & Softwares. Surat City Police opted for NEC’s NeoFace Watch for Live CCTV surveillance and NeoFace Reveal for forensic criminal investigation.
“We have found NEC’s face recognition solution to be the most appropriate solution with respect to face detection and investigation, and it will help Surat Police resolve crime cases in a very speedy manner,” said Shri Rakesh Asthana, Indian Police Service, Police Commissioner of Surat City in a statement.
NEC’s face recognition technology has achieved the highest performance evaluation for the third consecutive time in the recent Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 2014 performed by the U.S National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST report is considered as an industry benchmark for assessing how accurate a face recognition software solution is in one-to-many searching in various circumstances.
