The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity hopes the organization’s new Face Recognition Prize Challenge will help them move the needle on biometric security.

Meet the new face-detection algorithm that will change image search If you don’t want this algorithm to identify you, stay away from cameras.

Face detection software has slowly crept into mainstream use, from Facebook photo tagging to Android phone unlocking, but new research looks set to move the technology on significantly. Scientists ...

Facial-recognition algorithms from Los Angeles startup TrueFace are good enough that the US Air Force uses them to speed security checks at base entrances. But CEO Shaun Moore says he’s facing a ...

The nation's top-level intelligence office, the Director of National Intelligence, wants to find "the most accurate unconstrained face recognition algorithm." A branch of the office, which oversees ...

Coronavirus face masks can confuse facial recognition technology, government researchers announced Monday after a preliminary study on the issue. Facial recognition algorithms developed before the ...

NIST is widely considered the leading authority on facial recognition accuracy testing, and expected algorithms to improve on identifying people in face masks.

What is face recognition? Face recognition is a method for identifying an unknown person or authenticating the identity of a specific person from their face.

Face masks are already known to stop the spread of coronavirus. Apparently, they can also make it much harder for facial-recognition software to identify you, too.
