Facial Recognition
How PeopleKey’s Facial Recognition works..
Facial recognition is a method of identifying or verifying the identity of an individual using their face.
PeopleKey uses advanced facial recognition solutions to biometrically authenticate time and attendance transactions. When a person enrols into a PeopleKey’s system via a facial scan, the PeopleKey biometric device uses computer algorithms to translate characteristics and distinguishing features of a person’s face into biometric data.
These characteristics may include the distance between the eyes, the shape of their mouth, nose and chin.
The biometric data is converted into a mathematical representation, known as a face template, and stored to allow a person’s identity to be verified when they perform a clocking using a PeopleKey scanner. A face template is not the same as a photograph and the biometric data cannot be used to produce an image.
Convenient
Biometric technology is becoming increasingly popular for time and attendance tracking. Although fingerprint biometrics is a popular and well-developed choice, facial recognition solutions for time tracking offer a reliable alternative with several distinct advantages.
Leaders
PeopleKey has been a leader in fingerprint recognition for over 20 years, offering trusted biometric time and attendance solutions. PeopleKey offers facial recognition solutions across its popular range of scanners, providing a fully contactless option that reduces the risk of contamination and limits exposure to pathogens in the workplace. This is an added benefit to suit the growing demand for hygienic and contact-free time and attendance tracking.
Performance
Facial recognition systems vary in their ability to identify people under challenging conditions such as poor lighting, low-quality image resolution, and suboptimal angle of view. PeopleKey’s facial recognition system has been carefully designed and tuned to maximise performance. And when coupled with PeopleKey Nexus, allows for the adjustment of the template tolerance at an individual level. When a higher degree of biometric assurance is required, PeopleKey scanners are uniquely positioned to a combination of both facial and finger print recognition.
Effortless
We present superior technology, enabling employees to enrol securely and confidently on the time scanner’s facial recognition system, effortlessly and more precisely. This, in turn, reduces read error rates for a more exact biometric enrolment and safeguards employees’ personal information. Additionally, it eliminates costly buddy punching and the subsequent wage fraud for employers.
How Facial Recognition Solutions Work
- The image of the face is captured via the PeopleKey scanner’s inbuilt camera.
- Using the onboard processor the image passes through an algorithm and is converted to a mathematical representation of that face.
- The image is disregarded
- The onboard processor then checks the local datastore of facial templates for a mathematical match.
- When found, the processor returns a verified status to the scanner and passes the valid clocking transaction through to PeopleKey Nexus.
- When not found, the processor returns an unsuccessful status to the scanner and passes an invalid verification transaction through to PeopleKey Nexus.
