Cognitec Systems - The Face Recognition Company

Cognitec develops market-leading face recognition technologies and applications for customers and government agencies around the world. In various independent evaluation tests, our FaceVACS® software has proven to be the leading technology available on the market. Cognitec’s portfolio includes products for facial database search, video screening, border control, ICAO compliant photo capturing and facial image quality assessment. Corporate headquarters are located in Dresden, Germany; other offices in Miami, FL; Rockland, MA; and Hong Kong.

Face recognition systems have been available on the market for about 15 years. As with most complex technology, initial performance results were poor and the usefulness for security applications was limited. However, massive investments into research and development, along with numerous field trials, have resulted in a reliable technology. Tests conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the USA have shown that recognition accuracy of the leading algorithms increased by a factor of 20 between 2002 and 2006.

Cognitec’s face recognition technology is now widely used for security applications, including electronic passport control gates in airports, law enforcement investigations, passport or driver’s license issuance, video surveillance and physical access control. Our technology can also be used for convenience and productivity in web and photo album applications, and for event photography, VIP recognition, and digital signage. Cognitec’s software development kit brings FaceVACS technology to integrators and allows the development of new face recognition applications.

Cognitec offers innovative, easy-to-use, and customizable software products and ensure straightforward integration and deployment, mainly through “open-system” architecture and unparalleled technical support. Around the globe, other companies have developed and continue to create new solutions using Cognitec’s technology—a resounding testament to the technical proficiency and customer-friendliness of our products.
