Cognitec FaceVACS-VideoScan

Cognitec’s FaceVACS-VideoScan detects and identifies persons of interest in real time while computing demographic and behavioural data, supporting security staff, marketing departments and operations management in one application.

The scanner detects people’s faces in live video streams or video footage and stores video sequences of cropped faces (face streams) for each appearance in front of a camera. Anonymous analysis of all face streams over time allows the software to compute people count, demographical information, people movement in time and space, and to detect frequent visitors and crowds.

The product also performs real-time identity checks against image databases to find known persons and alert appropriate staff. The FaceVACS-VideoScan provides support to: business intelligence - count visitors by zone within a facility; detect repeat visitors and frequency of visits; detect age, gender and ethnicity distribution; intelligent signage - detect age, gender and ethnicity of the audience and deliver tailored messages and displays; security - screening of public and private places (eg, malls, banks, airports, business centres, real estate); border control; VIP recognition.
