Hanvon products are also sold in South Africa by Face ID SA. Hanvon’s technology is used by China’s Ministry of Public Security, police, and roughly 200 other clients in Beijing. People wearing both a mask and sunglasses are not so easy to identify, however. “When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” while people without masks are identified at a 99.5 percent rate, Huang said. Hanwang Vice President Huang Lei told Reuters in an interview that the company’s facial recognition can identify all people in a crowd of up to 30 within a second. The technology can also be integrated with a thermometer to detect fever. The company offers a single channel solution, such as for access control, and a multi-channel system for networked surveillance cameras.

Development of the covered-face system began in January, and Hanvon began rolling it out to the market in February. Hanvon sells FaceGo technology developed over the past ten years, and used a database of six million unmasked faces and a much smaller set of masked ones to develop the new algorithm. Telpo, Wisesoft and Remark Holdings have also recently announced facial biometrics upgrades to work with facemasks. Hanvon’s patented super-fast embedded face recognition algorithm is considered to be probably the fastest available, and FaceID is recognized as one of the best performing systems in all industry sectors, including government, healthcare, retail, industrial, finance, transportation and education Sector in Bangladesh. SenseTime claimed to have developed facial biometric technology that can identify people wearing face masks a month ago.
