Introducing the New Face.Match.Expert User Interface: Making Facial Recognition Easy for Everyone

At Expertum, our mission is to make advanced facial recognition technology accessible to everyone, even if you don't have a deep technical background. We’re thrilled to introduce the new user interface for our Face.Match.Expert (FME) API service. This update lets you use our facial search and recognition tools directly in your browser, eliminating the need for complex integrations.

Main Features of the New FME Interface

1. Add Images to Your Collection

   Uploading new facial records to your collection has never been simpler. Here’s how it works:

   • Bulk Upload: Select and upload multiple photos at once. Each record ID will match the file name, making organization easy.
   • Initial Processing: The first upload might take up to 3 minutes as the database gets set up, but subsequent uploads will be much faster.
   • Security First: We take privacy seriously. After extracting facial data, the original photos are deleted, making it impossible to reconstruct the original images.

2. Search Your Collection by a New Image

   At FME, our goal is to democratize facial recognition technology and empower businesses to leverage its potential fully.

   Uploading new facial records to your collection has never been simpler. Here’s how it works:

   Our new interface lets you search your collection using a new photo. Here’s what to expect:

   • Easy Upload: Upload a photo with at least one visible face.
   • Detailed Results: Get instant results showing the number of matches, facial coordinates, and similarity percentages.
   • Multi-Face Handling: If the photo has multiple faces, results for each face are shown individually.
   • Accuracy: FME excels at matching facial photos despite variations in makeup, age, head rotation, and lighting conditions. This makes it - an invaluable tool for sorting photos by facial images, enhancing security systems, managing traffic, controlling access, and improving services in the travel and hospitality sectors, among many other applications.

   For example, we searched for Liam Hemsworth in an example celebrity database prepared for demo purposes. You can see how FME matched the facial features even with different hair colors, eye colors, and makeup.

   Potential Applications of Searching Collections by Image

   The ability to search collections by a new image opens up a myriad of applications across various industries:

   1. Security and Law Enforcement: Utilizing facial recognition technology, security agencies can quickly compare suspects or missing persons with surveillance footage photos and a database of known individuals. This enhances public safety and accelerates investigations.
   2. Event Management: Event organizers can streamline photo management by allowing attendees to find and download photos of themselves. This feature is particularly useful for large-scale events where numerous photos are taken, such as festivals, conferences, and sports events.

   3. Retail and Customer Experience: Retailers can enhance customer experience by using facial recognition to identify loyal customers and personalize their shopping experience. This technology can also help in preventing fraud and theft by recognizing known offenders.
   4. Healthcare: In healthcare settings, facial recognition can be used for patient identification, ensuring that the right medical records are accessed and reducing the risk of errors. This technology can also help in monitoring patients and ensuring their safety within medical facilities.

3. Match Two Faces to Get a Similarity Index

   Our user-friendly dashboard lets you compare two faces and get a similarity score, which is crucial for various security and compliance tasks:

   • Face Comparison: Upload two photos and get a similarity score to see if they depict the same person. For example, the two photos of Ed Sheeran look very alike, but in reality, they are of two different people. On the other hand, visually different photos of the same person return a drastically higher similarity percentage.
   

   Potential Applications of Face Comparison

   Comparing two faces to determine similarity has significant implications in various fields:

   1. Financial Services: Banks and financial institutions can use facial comparison to enhance their Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. By comparing the photo on a government-issued ID with a selfie provided by the customer, institutions can verify identities more effectively and reduce fraud.
   2. Access Control: In high-security areas such as government buildings, research labs, and corporate offices, facial comparison can ensure that only authorized individuals gain access. This technology can replace or supplement traditional access cards and passwords, providing a higher level of security.
   3. Legal and Immigration: Immigration authorities and legal institutions can use facial comparison to verify the identities of individuals applying for visas, asylum, or other legal processes. This helps in ensuring that documentation is accurate and that the person being processed is who they claim to be.
   4. Digital Confirmation: Online platforms and services can use facial comparison to confirm user’s facial image during account creation or login. This enhances security and user trust, particularly in sectors such as online banking, e-commerce, and social media.
