The Future Of Facial Recognition

The beginning of the future is here, although forced upon us to race with time and make peace with a world that will wear masks, scrutinize every single public interaction and create a unified population with a single goal of making our planet virus free.

A question that keeps pondering over in my head during the un-countable days of being locked up in my home:

How will security camera recognize faces, when I myself fail to recognize people under masks?

I finally have stumbled upon an amazing answer, or say technology instead; periOcular technology

Believe it or not Artificial Intelligence has helped un-mask people.

Active match is an artificial intelligence driven solution developed by pdActive that can be applied to existing security systems and provide facial recognition, behavioral analysis insights under the present conditions. The engineering teams at pdActive have used deep learning, big data, AI and other advanced technology to reach where they are today.

What is the problem faced?

It is very difficult to identify humans when 60% of the face is covered with masks. Combined with different viewing angles, accessories such as hat and faces without mask it can seem virtually impossible to identify faces.

How has this been solved?

pdActive’s periOcular technology quickly matches faces along with millions of subjects.

What is the periocular region and how does it help?

Periocular technology has been an emerging trend for facial recognition where there is no possible way to have full face or iris recognition. The area around the human eye is called the periocular region and has highly differentiating properties in different humans (like the stripes of a zebra, spots on a cheetah). It is a relatively permanent trait and is highly recognizable from distances.

9 Techniques to Write Your Code Efficiently

(Photo by Oskar Yildiz on Unsplash ) It’s really easy to write efficient and faster code . Efficient code, not just only improves the functionality of the code but it can also reduce the time and space complexity of the programming. Speed is one of the major factors in deciding the quality of the code , for instance, your code might be producing the required result but it takes some time to execute then it will not be considered a quality code. An alternative approach to the same problem producing faster results will be considered better. The code should be clean i.e. comprehensible and readable so that it can be reused (saving the efforts of rewriting the whole program from scratch), adding new features, and making the process of debugging more easier. In this article, I will cover some simple tips and techniques which we can easily apply to make our code more elegant and efficient. "There is always more than one method to solve the problem." How to write code efficie

Everything You Need to Know About Google Foobar Challenge

Recently, while searching a keyword “headless chrome” on Google I got an unusual pop-up on my window, with a message: "Curious developers are known to seek interesting problems. Solve one from Google?" I was surprised to see Google sending me a challenge to solve and I accepted it immediately! Clicking on “I want to play” landed me on Google’s Foobar page. It was Google Foobar Challenge! What exactly is Google Foobar Challenge? Google Foobar challenge is a secret hiring process by the company to recruit top programmers and developers around the world. And it is known that several developers at Google are hired by this process. The challenge consists of five levels with a total of nine questions , with the level of difficulty increasing at each level. What to do after getting the challenge? After selecting “I want to play” option you land on Foobar’s website which has a Unix-like shell interface, including some standard Unix commands like help, cd, ls, cat and etcetera .

Cheatsheet for NumPy: Essential and Lesser-Known Functions

(Photo by  Chris Liverani  on  Unsplash ) Numpy  ( stands for — Numerical Python ) is a library available in Python programming language, supporting matrix data structures and multidimensional array objects. This the most basic scientific computing library that we need to learn, to begin our journey in the field of data science. Numpy can compute  basic mathematical calculations  to make the process of creating advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence applications easier (by using comprehensive mathematical functions available within the library). Numpy allows us to  carry out various complex mathematical calculations effortlessly  along with several top-up libraries (like matplotlib, pandas, scikit-learn, etc.) built over it. This library is a great tool for every data science professional to  handle and analyze the data efficiently . Moreover, it is much easier to perform mathematical operations with numpy arrays in comparison to python’s list. Numpy library has various
