In this field, Dahua has succeeded in various major international challenges, including the Multiple Object Tracking Challenge, the KITTI 2D Object Detection Evaluation 2012, KITTI Flow Benchmark, Task [Word Recognition] of Incidental Scene Text Challenge and Born-Digital Image Challenge.

It is necessary to explain some basic rules concerning how facial recognition works to see how Dahua Technology’s products & solutions are applied in various daily scenes. Simply put, big data is useless if the accuracy and efficiency of facial recognition has not been improved to certain level. The face detection, whether from a snapshot or from a stream of video, requires not only a high quality camera but more importantly, a smart AI algorithm that optimises the image captured in multiple angles or blurred in motion and translates the face feature into digital model which can be crosschecked in the database. The whole process, from taking the picture to comparison, takes as short as 300ms.

Dahua facial recognition solution overcomes various shortcomings of traditional ways of card or fingerprint scanning, including low efficiency and inadequate security. Comparing to a card, it is much less likely for one to lose/replicate/borrow a face. And the access control was no longer a gamble if one's fingerprint works.

Here is how exactly Dahua facial recognition solution works in an office scenario. The powerful cameras are built in with deep learning AI to detect faces and digitalise the features and compare them purely through numbers with the ones in the database which takes less than 1 second. The beauty of the solution goes both ways since the company no longer needs to make a card or import finger prints for the newly employed but simply upload their photos into the database that contains up to 10,000 faces.

In addition to offices, this solution can also be applied to any place that has a high standard for access control, like customs, schools, residential communities, etc.

The white list feature is why facial recognition is essential for the business. The immediate detection of a VIP face can be easily matched with the white list in database. No delay or misidentification and all VIP treatment. This goes not only for banks. Hotels, hospitals and casinos alike will also benefit from this solution that secures the proper respect those exceptional customers deserve.

On the other hand limited access areas like labs and archives will also enjoy better protection with facial recognition solution as they can recognise unauthorised personnel and trigger an alarm or other method of indication.

And finally the black list means that this Dahua facial recognition solution is able to inform the security force to deal with any persona non grata on the black list as soon as they show their faces. Of course this solution could be widely applied to other areas like airports, train stations, or in other words, city management.

The Dahua facial recognition solution fully activates gathered big data gathered and spawns a great many creative applications in terms of security and business, helping to result in a safer society and with smarter living.
