MET POLICE RECRUIT NEOFACE

摘要

NEC's NeoFace Live Facial Recognition technology is being used by London's Metropolitan Police Force in the fight against crime. The Met has deployed NEC's LFR for what it describes as intelligence-led operations into specific locations to help combat crimes including knife and gun crime, and child sexual exploitation. In use, NeoFace takes images and compares them to those of people on a watchlist. It works by measuring the structure of each face, including distance between eyes, nose, mouth and jaw to create a facial template. The MET said the NeoFace is not linked to other imaging systems, such as CCTV or body-worn cameras.
