Cognitec Systems GmbH, a Dresden, Germany based provider of face recognition technology, has added a verification feature to its FaceVACS-Entry technology, according to a press release.

The technology not only takes biometric photos, it allows for their comparison against facial images retrieved from ID documents or databases. The process also includes presentation attack detection to ensure a live person interacts with the device.

The device fits kiosks, e-gates, desks, free-standing pillars and border control booths.

Instant camera positioning, active lighting and responsive user guidance support optimal capturing conditions, accurate person authentication results and fast processing times.

FaceVACS-Entry serves all applications that require the acquisition of standards-compliant photos, such as access control, border control and entry/exit programs.

"The combined service of photo capture and person verification saves travelers lots of time at the border. They should complete all immigration procedures in just a few seconds," Alfredo Herrera, managing director at Cognitec, said in the press release.
