Cognitec Systems GmbH
Cognitec develops and markets the world-leading FaceVACS® face recognition software. In various independent evaluation tests including the US Government Face Recognition Vendor Test 2002, FaceVACS has proven to be the leading technology available on the market.
Industry and government customers are using FaceVACS since 1996. The installation of the SmartGate system at Sydney International Airport in 2002 was a major step towards a solution for automated border control using Cognitec's software. Searching through photo databases to find duplicate identities is another key application for face recognition.
FaceVACS technology has been designed to safely recognize persons independently of variances that appear to human faces. FaceVACS technology handles pose, mimic, ageing variance as well as variances coming from new hair styles, glasses or temporary lighting changes. Algorithmic leadership, optimizing fine tuning over the last years resulted in the best of class variance independency, showing excellent verification and identification results.

· Photo capture for biometric enrolment of facial images conforming to ISO 19794-5, e.g. for personalization of electronic passports and other ID documents;

· Verification of the passport holder at border control by automatic comparison of the facial image;
· Watch list check against photo databases at border control;
