How Well Can Facial Recognition Device Recognize Masked Face?

With more people wearing masks to prevent the spread of Covid-19, mask-wearing seems to be a norm. However, the masked face will certainly increase the difficulty to recognize personnel identity. Whether current facial recognition device able to recognize the masked face? And how well can it be?

Recently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science tested the accuracy of facial recognition technology to identify individuals with mask-wearing at its third annual Biometric Technology Rally, resulting in 96% accuracy. That also indicates that the superb facial recognition algorithm access to solve relevant technical difficulties of masked face detection and helps masked face people accurately recognize their identification.

In fact, as a mature facial recognition device and solution provider with 22-year R&D experience, Telpo has already launched facial recognition device F8 along with the cutting-edge facial recognition algorithm.

Masked Face Recognition Access control

Based on the original face recognition model, it improves the face visible area ratio and enhances local feature like eye feature, so as to solve masked face detection difficulty. Facial recognition means you don't have to carry an NFC/FRID card, which can be lost or stolen and helps prevent the spread of germs on surfaces that touch.

Importantly, besides masked face detection, Telpo F8 is allowed to scan health QR codes, safe entry QR code, and even digital vaccine passports in virtue of its top-performing configuration.

When people enter the identifiable area, they can achieve masked face detection, health QR code/ safe entry code or digital vaccine passport verification in only one machine. All scanned data will be matched with the data stored at the relevant platform to assure its authenticity. Meanwhile, the verification result will be displayed on the screen along with a voice broadcast and indicator lights. As we comply with the GDPR compliant framework, individual information privacy can be properly protected.

With such a facial recognition device, the accuracy of masked face detection, health QR code/ safe entry code or digital vaccine passport verification can be ensured. It is conducive to facilitate places (company, community, school, shopping mall, station, etc) to do well in epidemic prevention, reduce the burden on frontline services and helps to safely return to work, to study, and cross-border travel.
