As a technology company with core expertise in computer vision and computer graphics, XID provides the development of technologies and solutions related to the human face that targets to the security market.
We offer SDKs and solutions such as face detection, face recognition and face synthesis (real-time 3D simulation of faces from a single photo).
For more than 5 years XID Technologies has been specialized on Face Recognition Access Control software and integrated solutions. We have been able to cater our solutions to environments where other biometrics did not work very well. Face Recognition is getting more popular because its performance has improved dramatically over the years. We have now reached accuracy rates around 97%. It’s now a market that represents 13% of the total biometric market. The total biometric market is estimated at US$4.3b for 2009.
The value of XID Facial Recognition lies in:
Convenience
Unlike fingerprint and iris, face is easy to position, there is no contact. Just look at the camera.
Hygiene
There is no need for contact therefore it’s more hygienic.
Low Cost Maintenance
Since there is no contact, sensor cannot get broken by intense usage. This improves reliability and durability, therefore maintenance costs.
Management
See recorded faces in the logs and reports and identify whether it’s a fraudulent attempt to breach or just a false rejection immediatel.y
Improved Accuracy
Accuracy rate has improved dramatically after years of R&D and XID has been awarded many prizes and awards for our technology Face Synthesis ™ predictive algorithms.
Our solutions have been proven in very harsh environments such as construction sites and dormitories for over 40,000 foreign construction workers. With this we are able to cater to offices and buildings especially in very sensitive areas (power plants, prison, defense buildings).
Faces are everywhere! The mission of XID is to become the leading face related products provider in face recognition, modeling, animation and replacement technologies for security, media and internet applications.
Breakthrough Face Recognition Technology
Conventional face recognition systems often fail in real world deployments due to poor sensitivity to changing light conditions, changes of facial pose and facial artifacts (beard, glasses etc) resulting in high error rates that render the systems unsuitable in uncontrolled conditions.
XID's unique, patented, award winning predictive face synthesis technology overcomes these problems and enables face recognition systems to function in uncontrolled environments. From one 2D image, a multitude of images are automatically synthesized to enrich the reference information available for a face recognition engine and thus, considerably enhance its performance.

The face recognition market is expected to reach US$1B in 2010 and is growing at 45% CAGR. This growth is fueled by biometric adoption into consumer devices such as laptops and cell phones.
