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 ...

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 ...
