The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity hopes the organization’s new Face Recognition Prize Challenge will help them move the needle on biometric security.

Facial-recognition algorithms from Los Angeles startup TrueFace are good enough that the US Air Force uses them to speed security checks at base entrances. But CEO Shaun Moore says he’s facing a ...

Meet the new face-detection algorithm that will change image search If you don’t want this algorithm to identify you, stay away from cameras.

The detection phase of facial recognition starts with an algorithm that learns what a face is. Usually the creator of the algorithm does this by “training” it with photos of faces.

Published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the document describes how face detection algorithms could identify the presence of faces in a live video when people in the scene are located at ...

The nation's top-level intelligence office, the Director of National Intelligence, wants to find "the most accurate unconstrained face recognition algorithm." A branch of the office, which ...

Face detection software has slowly crept into mainstream use, from Facebook photo tagging to Android phone unlocking, but new research looks set to move the technology on significantly. Scientists ...

Face masks are already known to stop the spread of coronavirus. Apparently, they can also make it much harder for facial-recognition software to identify you, too.
