Aurora to demonstrate FaceSentinel facial recognition system at UK Security Expo 2016

At UK Security Expo 2016, facial recognition provider Aurora will be demonstrating its AI-powered FaceSentinel system, which allows registered users to open doors, turnstiles, and speed lanes simply by looking at a sensor, with no need for any additional verification such as tokens, cards, or PINs. The facial recognition system is integrated with Fastlane gates from IDL.

FaceSentinel in Identification Mode

Aurora Head of Sales and Marketing Gary James says there are important advantages to being able to open a turnstile without the need for additional tokens, swipe cards, or badges.

“Contact-type biometrics such as fingerprint scanning can introduce delays because they require the user to pause and comply with scanners,” he says. “But FaceSentinel in Identification Mode—which is also known as one-to-many—accelerates that process dramatically.”

FaceSentinel is the world’s first biometric access control authentication product powered by Deep Learning; the system uses AI and infrared light to achieve unparalleled facial recognition speed, accuracy, and reliability. Aurora’s facial recognition technology is—among other places—used throughout Heathrow Airport for boarding pass verification.

Infrared cameras

The cutting edge technology behind FaceSentinel also includes the use of infrared cameras to overcome the inherent challenge presented to facial recognition by fluctuations in natural light.

Integrated Design Limited (IDL) is the designer and manufacturer of Fastlane Turnstiles and Door Detective anti-tailgating products, and has over 30 years of experience and a worldwide distribution and installation network.

At UK Security Expo 2016, FaceSentinel will be running on IDL’s stand (C20). UK Security Expo 2016 takes place from November 30 – December 1 at Olympia London.
