UAE’s law enforcement gets
helping hand from AI-powered
face recognition system
Dmitry Doshaniy, General Manager at
NNTC, said: “Our software employs a
face recognition algorithm that has been
ranked very highly in terms of its quality.
After years of dedication and hard work,
we’ve managed to achieve a level of
accuracy that is practically unparalleled.
“The objective of this technology is
to channel the potential of Artificial
Intelligence and augmented reality to
assist in law enforcement procedures.”
iFalcon Face Control-powered smart glasses
– The Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses have been
deployed to multiple security operations
aw enforcement and security
operations in the UAE have
received a tech upgrade. Dubai-
based software developer and solutions
provider NNTC has partnered with Vuzix
to supply security personnel in the UAE
with the world’s first, fully autonomous
AI-powered face recognition system –
NNTC’s iFalcon Face Control Mobile.
L
The independent Face Recognition
Vendor Test conducted by the US
National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) has recorded a
True Positive Rating (TPR) of 97.45%,
indicating a high percentage of accurate
matches and a False Positive Rating
(FPR) of only 0.1% on a test database of
over one million faces for NNTC’s face
recognition algorithm.
Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses, which
very closely resemble run-of-the-mill
sunglasses, are embedded with an eight-
megapixel camera. The glasses leverage
the iFalcon software to detect up to 15
faces per video frame.
The software is capable of identifying
an individual in less than a second and
notifications regarding positive matches
are sent to the see-through display
embedded within the lens.
iFalcon Face Control also allows its
wearers mobility: no data connectivity
is required for the software to function;
users can carry or wear a portable
base station which connects to the
glasses and stores a database of
‘watch-listed’ individuals.
Meanwhile, notifications sent to the built-
in display frees up the wearer to interact
with people or perform alternative tasks.
Dmitry Doshaniy, General Manager at
NNTC, said: “We are eager to see how
the software assists in maintaining the
safety of law-abiding citizens.
“This innovative technology can
significantly boost the safety of the
general public, particularly in crowded
venues and can identify potential threats.
So far the response from our customers
and the market overall has been
extremely positive.” u
A total of 50 Vuzix Blade Smart
Glasses, powered by NNTC’s trademark
technology, have been deployed to
multiple security operations. Engineered
specifically for law enforcement officers
and security personnel, the solution
allows wearers to discretely scan faces
in a crowd and compare them against
a comprehensive offline database of
violators, missing people and suspects.
