The first of its kind, a Slovakian-based company has added a mask detection capability to its biometric facial recognition platform which also detects if the mask is properly worn, covering the wearer’s nose. The company says the new feature is particularly important for automated access control applications, and can send instant notifications or deny entry to people without masks. The new SmartFace feature is intended for use at access points for venues like production plants, office buildings, shopping malls, and hospitals, enabling easy enforcement of safety and security measures.
