The Face Recognition and Video
Processing Laboratory investigates advanced
pattern recognition and video analytics methods and
develops innovative technologies that achieve the best
performance on challenging problems, such as automated
traffic incident detection and monitoring, facial
recognition, image search, video retrieval, big-data
analytics and visualization. Our innovative video
analytics system, which achieves nearly one order of
magnitude improvement over RADAR for vehicle counting,
performs better than commercial systems for automated
traffic incident detection and monitoring in challenging
environments (see
https://web.njit.edu/~cliu/NJDOT/DEMOS.html). Our robust
facial recognition technology, which accomplishes the
best performance among the competing technologies for a
government organized face recognition grand challenge,
is able to reliably verify face images at a very low
false accept rate. Our patented face detection
technology, iris detection and recognition technologies,
and image-search technologies are some additional
examples of our research and development work.
