Sensory voice and face biometric platform identifies users with masks, detects symptoms

AI at the edge pioneer Sensory has upgraded its face and voice biometric fusion platform with features to help device and app developers build products for life post-COVID-19, the company announced. Since face masks are now a general recommendation, many biometric facial recognition systems, such as those in smartphones, are no longer performing because they cannot identity a user if the face is half covered, the company points out. Since many functions require facial recognition to operate, TrulySecure now claims it can recognize users when wearing masks and detect coughs and sneezes, without jeopardizing security. Sensory's SDK combines face and voice biometrics to operate in difficult scenarios such as background noise or facial obstruction. The two complement each other to ensure high accuracy and a seamless, touchless user experience.
