Cognitec Brings Unique Video Investigation Features to Face Recognition Product for Law Enforcement
Cognitec Systems, the face recognition company, has significantly extended the feature set of its FaceVACS-DBScan product. The latest release combines the company’s renowned image database search technology with powerful video inspection tools for a multitude of investigation use cases.
FaceVACS-DBScan LE enables fast import of video footage and detailed investigations of the extracted facial images. Agents can find known or unknown persons in multiple videos to quickly narrow down suspect investigations. The investigation can reveal, for example, if a suspect was seen in various locations within a set time window, always with the same group of persons, or in one location too many times during the day.
With one click, the investigator can add the facial image seen in a video frame to a local database. If a person is already known, the technology can quickly compare the facial image to all connected databases and instantly display a candidate list of possible matches.
“Searching through hours of video material continues to be one of the most tedious investigation tasks for law enforcement professionals,” says Alfredo Herrera, Cognitec CEO. “This tool will bring a new level of search automation and efficiency to the investigative workflow.”
This product release maintains established features that have been in successful use for years by law enforcement professionals worldwide. Investigators can compare facial images from any source to multi-million image databases and instantly view a match list of the most similar faces. The use of image enhancement tools can improve match results, and side-by-side image inspections allow for precise match evaluation of probe and candidate image.

XEROF expands its financial offerings, launches web3 finance services bundle16.4.2024 13:27:00 CEST | Press release
XEROF, a Swiss cryptoasset fintech, announced the launch of its web3 services platform. Its new offerings, including third-party payments and investment solutions, are designed to reduce the frictions between digital and fiat currencies for web3 and crypto-native companies, in particular those who struggle to access fiat banking services. Web3 businesses must adjust to constantly changing market conditions in their treasuries of digital and fiat currencies. XEROF's new payment service processes fiat or cryptocurrency payments for clients and sends them to any global third party, typically on the same day. This eliminates the need for web3 companies to maintain fiat bank accounts, which are often challenging to establish and maintain. Many startups face liquidity challenges when receiving funding in cryptocurrency since day-to-day operations often require fiat payments, and it’s getting harder to find bank providers accepting cryptoassets. XEROF provides the necessary liquidity and help

New Research Finds 83% of Supply Chains Can’t Respond to Disruptions in 24 Hours16.4.2024 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
Despite being one of the biggest lessons from the pandemic era, a new IDC study* sponsored by Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS) reveals slow progress in making supply chains more flexible and resilient while also highlighting optimism towards supply chain orchestration tools as a key enabler for the future. According to research, less than one-fifth (17%) of global supply chain leaders say their companies can respond to disruptions within 24 hours. Highlighting their widespread frustration, a staggering two-thirds (67%) of respondents admit they are not “very satisfied” with their response time. The comprehensive survey of 1,800 supply chain decision-makers from around the world exposes the harsh reality that most are struggling to keep their operations agile and adaptable amid an onslaught of disruptions from geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, and other volatility. While the average crisis response time is a troubling five days, the survey shows performance varies across industries. In
