BIG DEMAND FOR FACIAL RECOGNITION IN 2021 – GETTING IT RIGHT.
It seems like 2021 will see many venues install facial recognition systems. There’s a rising recognition of the benefits the facial recognition can deliver – ranging from enhancing VIP programs to maintaining a safe and protected environment.
There are really only 3 components to facial recognition systems.
To get value for your investment you need to consider all three. They are:
- Face detection – basically locating faces amongst all other things moving through the camera range.
- Image capture – this takes the facial characteristics and converts them into a digital data set.
- Matching – confirms the digital data set matches a face held in the reference data base.
Now, items 1 & 2 – detection & capture – are part of the system you purchase.
And Item 3 – Matching faces – is determined by the reference database. Your database is the resource that drives how well the system operates.
In short, the quality of image in your member database will determine the potential benefit you get from any facial recognition software – not just ours!
Rather than splash out on facial recognition software give due consideration to the information sources that will be used by facial recognition. Do not fall into a creating a “garbage in, garbage out” trap.
It’s pretty easy to avoid this – simply organise to have live demonstration of the systems that may be in contention for your venue. When you have the demo make sure you:
- The system has the capability of meeting your specific need(s). In other words know exactly what outcomes you need from the system and ensure they are addressed in the demo.
- An assessment of your database is included to determined how well it will interface with the system and/or what may need attention.
- Carefully assess the capabilities and culture of the vendor – you will undoubtedly need their assistance and support, it is important you can rely on them.
