Panasonic Begins Offering API for Facial Recognition Utilizing Deep Learning Technology

Panasonic Corporation announced that starting today the company will begin offering an application programming interface (API) for its facial recognition technology to the market in Japan.
 
Panasonic first began R&D into facial recognition in the early 1990s, and has continued to perfect these capabilities in various ways by incorporating the technology into consumer products and by applying it to camera-based security solutions. The company has gone on to provide reliable, safe and efficient facial recognition solutions such as for passport control at airports and ticketless entry at amusement parks. Now, Panasonic aims to help customers solve a variety of challenges by offering an API for this same technology.
