Sponsored by the NIST, the match up of face-recognition algorithms showed that machine recognition of human individuals has improved tenfold since 2002 and a hundredfold since 1995. Indeed, the best face-recognition algorithms now perform more accurately than most humans can manage. Overall, facial-recognition technology is advancing rapidly. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://cl.exct.net/?ju=fe1d15737c650375731c77&ls=fdf11573716d04787c1d7376&m=ff011674776105&l=fec4127776650574&s=fe2e1672746c017d7c1674&jb=ffcf14&t= " target="blank">cl.exct.net/?ju=fe1d15737c650375731c77&ls=fdf11573716d04787c1d7376&m=ff011674776105&l=fec4127776650574&s=fe2e1672746c017d7c1674&jb=ffcf14&t= </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
