Surveillance tech outgrows face ID – Computerworld

More than 400 clients, including police departments, universities, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and others, are already using Track, Veritone says.

Track is part of Veritone’s iDEMS (Intelligent Digital Evidence Management System), which itself is powered by the aiWARE platform, which brings together more than 300 different AI models (like those for transcription, object detection, etc.) to extract insights from otherwise unrelated data sources, according to the company.

Veritone’s offering isn’t alone. Clothing and attribute recognition technology is available through various APIs and platforms, often provided by companies specializing in computer vision and AI. Companies like Ximilar, Clarifai, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft offer identification based on attributes other than face recognition. In addition to specific-person identification, these companies use such technology for product tagging, personalized shopping recommendations, fashion trend analysis, and enhanced image search.
