Facial recognition is slowly making inroads — some analysts would emphasize “slowly,” others would highlight “making inroads” — into mainstream enterprises. In evidence: the Israel Discount Bank announced on Monday that it has installed an innovative system for identifying faces to allow entry into the vaults and other facilities at all its branches. The Rechovot-based C-True company’s C-entry system is an advanced biometric system which the bank has tested for half a year.
The system can even identify people in difficult conditions such as dim light. Changes, such as sunglasses, beards, moustaches, different hairdos, or a hat do not affect its ability.
C-True specializes in 3D real-time machine vision. Founded in 2006, it benefits from the academic atmosphere and resources of the Weitzman Science Park in Rechovot. C-True is staffed by mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, and engineers. The company says its labs include advanced physical simulation, strong mathematical infrastructure, and an advanced optical laboratory.
