Allevate’s founder is quoted in an article by Mark Smith, entitled “Smile, you’re on camera, and it knows who you are“.
Carl Gohringer, founder and director at Allevate, a facial recognition firm that works with law enforcement, intelligence and government agencies, says: “The amount of media – such as videos and photos – available to us as individuals, organisations and businesses, and to intelligence and law enforcement agencies, is staggering.
“We’re well beyond the point where all of it is usable or viewable by us as human beings. So technology will be applied that results in new and interesting mechanisms of accessing, analysing, ordering, structuring and processing this visual minefield.”
