NIST: VisionLabs, IDEMIA, and CloudWalk lead in facial recognition accuracy

A report from the US government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reveals the accuracy of various facial recognition algorithms. Higher numbers are better as they indicate a lower prevalence of false positives. The "N" values represent the number of individuals enrolled in each simulation of aircraft boarding. The N 42,000 simulation, for example, is designed to represent an airport security line where many people are expected. The "k" values give the number of images of each en- rollee in each gallery.
