The results of National Institute of Standards' Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 1:1 Verification programme have shown an improved performance by US firms, according to one of the firms involved.Michael Walton, CMO, Ever AI told Planet Biometrics that this highlights how US face recognition technology has caught up with China and Russia. “While many top performers were highly financed Chinese and Russian firms, this is the first benchmark where a US company scored incredibly well on all 5 of the benchmark tests”, he said via email.He also noted that Ever AI was the top US company in all 5 of the FRVT 1:1 tests – winning by a wide margin in 4 of the tests (Visa @ 0.000001, Visa @ 0.0001, Visa @ 0.001, Mugshot) and tying with Camvi Technologies in 1 test (Wild).”While I obviously love to see wider coverage on Ever AI, I think there's a bigger story to tell about how US face recognition technology has caught up with China and Russia. This is important in the category of mission critical face recognition, where high accuracy, tight security and deployment flexibility area essential and US-based companies are reticent to use foreign technology (think US government, law enforcement, US enterprises)”.”This independent evaluation establishes us as the de facto leader of mission-critical face recognition in the US,” said Doug Aley, CEO of Ever AI. “Our flexible deployment options, accuracy at a variety of distances and poses, diverse training data sets that ensure low bias, and our custom customer models that dramatically reduce the risk of adversarial attacks, make our platform the best option for authentication, access control, security and surveillance applications.”
