Current facial-recognition technology is based primarily on the work of Paul Viola and Michael Jones, who achieved a major breakthrough in 2001 when they developed an algorithm that could detect ...

Back in 2001, two computer scientists, Paul Viola and Michael Jones, triggered a revolution in the field of computer face detection. After years of stagnation, their breakthrough was an algorithm ...

NIST has an ongoing report on how masks have affected facial recognition algorithms, using 6 million images from its database, and digitally adding a mask onto the photos.

Face masks are breaking some of the most commonly used facial recognition algorithms, according to a new study from US government agency NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology).

Face detection software has slowly crept into mainstream use, ... New face detection algorithm registers even partially hidden faces By David Nield. February 18, 2015 Facebook; ...

Facial recognition algorithms developed before the outbreak struggle to identify people wearing masks or face coverings, according to a new study from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National ...

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 ...

A study of 65 face recognition algorithms on masked photos found they were as good as the top performers in 2017 with no masks. Alfred Ng Senior Reporter / CNET News.

“An ultimate face recognition algorithm should perform with billions of people in a dataset,” the researchers wrote. About the Author. Adrienne LaFrance. Follow.
