Mobility-based facial recognition for smart city security Artificial Intelligence Research

NEC Australia, a leading ICT solutions and services company, has entered a strategic partnership with Silicon Valley vision analytics firm, CrowdOptic, to bring next generation security to smart cities. NEC Australia and CrowdOptic are jointly introducing a ground-breaking intelligent live video streaming security system enabled by real-time analysis of footage captured from fixed cameras and mobile camera sensors in body cams, smartphones, and drones. This marks a significant improvement on video surveillance and facial recognition, which today relies predominantly on footage captured from fixed cameras. Live, intelligent video footage combined with efficient transmission of data from mobile camera sensors enhances the impact of the world's most accurate face recognition technology (NEC's Video Face Recognition Technology Ranks First in NIST Testing), NeoFace . Naturally, mobility will play an important role in smart city technology.
