The important role of face recognition access control during the epidemic
With the gradual improvement of the global epidemic situation, many countries have begun to resume production and work one after another. At the same time, the work of epidemic prevention cannot be relaxed.
As we all know, the transmission mode of the COV-19 is mainly droplet transmission and indirect contact. Although at this stage everyone wears a mask when going out and washes their hands frequently, which can effectively prevent droplet transmission, the indirect transmission method of contact with public facilities cannot be ignored. In order to effectively prevent and control the epidemic, many areas have begun to adopt face recognition access control.
What are the advantages of face recognition access control?
First of all, the use of face recognition access control can balance efficiency and prevention and control to facilitate the public. Residents need to go out to purchase daily necessities, some communities still rely on swiping cards and entering passwords to enter and exit, but in this way, their hands will indirectly touch each other. If someone is infected with COV-19, it will increase the chance of infection, and company attendance will also the same.
In addition, to enter the community, it is often necessary to show an ID card, a pass, register personal information, and pass several procedures such as temperature testing. It also takes at least three minutes. If you encounter a queue, you will have to wait longer.
For this reason, many companies began to develop various face recognition access control. Based on its own face recognition technology, it has developed a series of smart face recognition terminals, which can pass through within a few seconds without indirect contact between users. In this way, not only can the epidemic be prevented, but it can also be convenient for residents.
It also faces another problem-How to recognize a person wearing a mask?
For face recognition, masks occlude some facial features, which will cause the face recognition algorithm to "reject" and "misrecognize"; and if people take off the mask, there is no protection, and there is a risk of infection.
Faced with this problem, we have introduced face recognition technology for people wearing masks, which can locate and accurately recognize faces. After the recognition is successful, it will automatically send a signal to open the access control or gates and record the attendance information; for those who do not wear a mask, they will refuse to pass and give an alarm.
Of course, the security of face recognition with mask occlusion is weaker than recognition without occlusion, so this technology is mainly used in access control, check-in, and other scenarios, but this technology can not be used in face-swiping payment scenarios that have higher security requirements.
Now that the access control can recognize faces and overcome the obstacles of wearing a mask, can it be combined with other technologies to develop more convenient functions?
The answer is yes.
Face recognition access control can be integrated with infrared temperature detectors. Within a few seconds of personnel passing by, the face temperature measurement system will record the owner's body temperature and attendance in the system, allowing people with normal body temperatures to be released and reminding people with abnormal body temperatures.
By the software, we could set up the temperature, if higher, then doors won't unlock.
This kind of equipment not only greatly improves the efficiency but also reduces the misdetection and missed detection, releases the door guard from the manual temperature measurement work, and devotes more energy to the community patrol and other tasks.
At this time, whether it is a company or a community, it needs to take relevant measures based on its own reality, such as implementing peak-shift dining, disinfecting elevator stairs, and limiting the number of people on the elevator. Let us work together to get through this difficult period together.
