Drive Through Face Recognition - NEC NeoFACE Already in Use
[Edit]
[Edit]
NEC has launched an automated face recognition system capable of identifying you when you are still inside your car. It may seam like technology from 10 years in the future, but its already available. In fact, NeoFace has already been installed at the Hong Kong - Shenzhen border.
The system first picks out who you’re supposed to be, based on your license plate. Then it checks the database of what you’re supposed to look like. And the system doesn’t recognize you, it shoots you. Just kidding, it doesn’t shoot you…
Built around NEC’s NeoFace biometric face recognition system, as well as NEC’s electronic passport technology, the system is designed to boost the speed and efficiency of Hong Kong Immigration Department operations by allowing residents with microchipped national ID cards to remain in their vehicles while automated cameras verify their identities. Hong Kong residents aged 11 or over are required by law to carry a national ID card (HKID), and the recently issued “smart” IDs are embedded with chips that contain biometric and personal data.
