Atos implements automated facial recognition for vehicle control at the Spanish border
Bezons, September 5th 2016 - Atos, through its commercial brand Bull, announces that CENTINELA, its border control solution, now includes facial recognition.
CENTINELA manages Spanish border crossing points in an automatic way, analysing the information of incoming vehicles, their owners, and now, thanks to the new module, performing facial recognition and identification of vehicle occupants. The driver’s face is compared to the central database.
The Atos software cross-checks the facial recognition information with that of the license plate allowing verification of abnormal activities, such as the use of various vehicles by the same driver, an unusually high number of passes, etc. In the event of an abnormal situation, CENTINELA blocks the way by preventing the barrier from lifting and sends an alert automatically. The solution provides greater control and time saving thus facilitating the work of the authorities.
Adding a facial recognition feature in the CENTINELA solution enables to fight against illegal cross border activities organized crime and illegal immigration in a more effective way. A quicker border crossing for goods and authorized persons are at stake.
