State of the art facial recognition


The most significant development in crime prevention and detection since Sir Alec Jeffreys developed a DNA profiling process in late 1984, and perhaps the most important tool in our armoury.

What is facial recognition?


A catch-all term for any technology that involves cataloguing and recognising human faces, typically by recording the unique ratios between an individual’s facial features, such as eyes, nose and mouth.

The technology can be applied to everything from emotion tracking to animation, but the most effectively involves using facial features as biometric identifiers, that is, to identify individuals based on just a photo or video of their face.

What we do


Working with partners we can identify individuals from photographs and video footage bringing verification to an investigation, often the first step on an evidence trail leading to a successful outcome.

‘Verifying who you come into contact with, is the first step in helping you make informed decisions or about future interactions or assisting us in an investigation due diligence or recovery process’.  (The Board, IYE)

The technology greatly improves the ability to identify an individual. At the simple end, a facial recognition system connected to a network of cameras can automatically track an individual as they move in and out of coverage, even if no other information is known about them. At the more complex end, a facial recognition system fuelled by a large database of labelled data can enable our partner authorities to pinpoint a person of interest across a city of networked cameras.

Companies such as the US surveillance provider Clearview AI, have built up enormous databases containing more than 3bn labelled faces by scraping Facebook and other social media sites.

Some things we can do


  • Verify passports or identification documents
  • Locate persons of interest
  • Check criminal records and persons of interest information
  • Undertake remote surveillance
  • Conduct and augment employment checks (see INSIGHT)
  • Provide valuable input to due diligence and other investigations

IYE Insight – the usp explained


INSIGHT was developed for one purpose and one purpose only.

To SAFEGUARD.

To safeguard the workplace, employees and employers and the wider public at a realistic price point by promoting enhanced employee checks based on facial recognition.

Rogue employees have been known to present fake documents to avoid detection by standard checking methods, but INSIGHT using state of the art facial recognition software to confirm analogue data, deals with this issue effectively.

Fig 1 shows the effectiveness of INSIGHT which can capture up to 78% of useful information.

Fig 2 shows a standard DBS check ‘spotlighting’ only 8% of available information.

Insight VS DBS checks


INSIGHT - CONTINUED

Using 2018 crime stats showing 4.6m reported crimes (adjusted)


Both charts use the same base line percentage of crimes detected by the police at 52%, in 2018, but DBS checks reduce the base line as it can only use information in the public domain. This is generally (with some minor exceptions) only conviction data.

By only using public domain information, DBS checks capture just 8% of recorded crime data and no additional intelligence. (NB Only 10% of reported crimes end up in court with an 82% conviction rate)

Existing DBS checks on employees are woefully inadequate and leave employers potentially exposed to the effects of rogue employees perusing a criminal or radicalised agenda.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the benefits of INSIGHT when compared to the normally adopted DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) checks.

INSIGHT is different.

By starting with the base line of detected crime standing at 52% of all recorded crime and adding intelligence from various agencies, the data capture is significantly greater than that available to a DBS check.

The question we should be asking our corporate clients is ‘would you choose to make important decisions based on understanding only 8% of the potential problem or would you prefer to have access to 78% of the data’.

Data accurate as of 02/12/2019.
