Criminals operating under the cover of darkness had better watch out.<\/p>\n
Computer scientists have developed a technology that can recognise a person\u2019s face and identify them in poor lighting and even total darkness.<\/p>\n
It uses a \u2018deep neural network system\u2019 that works a little like the human brain to analyse infrared images and match them with ordinary photos.<\/p>\n
At the moment, facial recognition systems tend to rely on matching clear and well-lit photos, meaning they are not useful if someone is standing in the shade, RT reported.<\/p>\n
Computer scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, developed the new facial recognition technique that reads a person\u2019s thermal signature.<\/p>\n
Saquib Sarfraz and Rainer Stiefelhagen created the system that uses mid or far-infrared images then matches details with those in ordinary photos.<\/p>\n
