BARCELONA, Spain, March 11, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The world's leading company in facial recognition solutions for crowded environments,

Herta, is launching this week a new version of its facial recognition algorithms that can

correctly identify people who wear facial masks. The company had been working on

the issue of partial occlusions for some time and, following the worldwide outbreak of

coronavirus (CoVid19), development has been accelerated to launch a version of

the software that helps provide an accurate identification under these conditions.

Based on Deep Learning technology, Herta's algorithms provide very high identification rates,

especially in identity verification tasks and their reliability is very high, even when people hide

a large part of their face. It is worth noting that the most differential part of the human

face is in the eye region.

The launch of this software is key for automatic passenger identification

systems, such as border control with the passport. This way it will not be

necessary for the person to remove the mask, avoiding possible contagion or

long waiting times. Its application, in general, extends to any type of access

control or identity verification system.

Herta expects that the impact of this new technology in the market will be very

important worldwide and that it will be massively used in environments such as

transportation, health, government, events, sports stadiums or in the gaming sector.
