Results published in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Interagency Report 8009, Performance of Face Identification Algorithms, show a 10 percent to 30 percent improvement from 2010 to ...

In 2019, NIST plans to release two more reports on facial recognition accuracy — one detailing the results from an additional 90 algorithms submitted by 49 developers, and another on “demographic ...

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 ...

Back in 2001, two computer scientists, Paul Viola and Michael Jones, triggered a revolution in the field of computer face detection. After years of stagnation, their breakthrough was an algorithm ...

Last week the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published a report showing how 189 face-recognition algorithms, submitted by 99 developers across the globe, fared at ...

Facial recognition algorithms developed before the outbreak struggle to identify people wearing masks or face coverings, according to a new study from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National ...

NIST has an ongoing report on how masks have affected facial recognition algorithms, using 6 million images from its database, and digitally adding a mask onto the photos.

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. This is the key finding of a new ...

Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington, says requiring Paravision to delete face-recognition algorithms trained with allegedly ill-gotten images shows the FTC recognizing how ...
