NEC provides facial recognition systems to Brazilian airports

NEC's NeoFace Watch solution enables automatic facial recognition through photos, CCTV images, recorded videos and webcams. It can be applied across a wide range of businesses to identify people both for security purpose and in customer relationship management, positioning itself as a flexible platform that aims to meet the needs of companies and governments alike.

For this project, NEC will deliver facial recognition systems that consist of NeoFace Watch software, CCTV cameras, servers and network infrastructure, as well as integration services for Receita Federal's existing systems and maintenance services.

"NEC's facial recognition technology was evaluated by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology as the world's number one in precision and speed of analysis. After integration with the Receita Federal system, it will facilitate the identification of passengers who have been registered for suspect activity by the agency, contributing to the improvement of the country's border controls and, consequently, to the improvement of society in general," said Daniel Mirabile, President, NEC in Brazil.

This is the first Brazilian government project that utilises the NeoFace Watch solution.
