The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity hopes the organization’s new Face Recognition Prize Challenge will help them move the needle on biometric security.

Meet the new face-detection algorithm that will change image search If you don’t want this algorithm to identify you, stay away from cameras.

Facial-recognition algorithms from Los Angeles startup TrueFace are good enough that the US Air Force uses them to speed security checks at base entrances. But CEO Shaun Moore says he’s facing a ...

The detection phase of facial recognition starts with an algorithm that learns what a face is. Usually the creator of the algorithm does this by “training” it with photos of faces.

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 ...

Indeed, the best face-recognition algorithms now perform more accurately than most humans can manage. Overall, facial-recognition technology is advancing rapidly.

Face detection software has slowly crept into mainstream use, from Facebook photo tagging to Android phone unlocking, but new research looks set to move the technology on significantly. Scientists ...

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.
