Description

Face recognition is a compelling form of biometric identification because it is contactless, can be performed from a distance, and tends not to require the cooperation of the identified. These features make it an appropriate choice for a variety of access control scenarios, including cases more focused on controlling access, like Entry Control Facilities (ECF) and Access Control Points (ACP), as well as cases involving continuous monitoring of those provided access, as in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) and Special Access Program Facilities (SAPF). Ever AI technology can identify emotional states, recognize behavior, understand scenes, and extract attribute data including sex, ethnicity, and age. The company has addressed issues of evolving phenotypes, including weight fluctuations and aging. These capabilities make for richer understanding of access control scenarios, and as such enable the replacement or augmentation of select security systems and personnel. Accuracy is paramount in access control, and Ever AI exceeds the capabilities of competitors as per NIST rankings, with a specialty in the recognition of ethnic minorities and women. Ever AI tech is uniquely shielded from common AI attacks both because the company limits access to its product and because of proprietary innovations developed specifically to combat these attacks.
