second and detect a wanted person or those
with previous wrong doings. This solution
by Dubai-based company NNTC is called
iFalcon Face Control Mobile and comprises
AR glasses displaying the notification
interface and a small bag containing a
portable database server inside. The whole
set is powered by an eight-hour removable
battery and does not need a network
connection, which enables its wearers to
float freely through the crowd and work
across massive events. This go-anywhere
device works in deserted areas with no
Internet or satellite connections, in the sky
when mounted on a drone, and even if the
signal is jammed it will perform without
failure. Currently deployed across many GCC
countries, this solution can benefit various
security services. The camera glasses capture
faces of those passing by, while the server
checks the images against the database and
notifies the wearer of any match via the AR
glasses in the blink of an eye.
“The algorithm is extremely good at
recognising even disguised people wearing
hats, glasses or covering their faces with
a hand or veil. The key advantage of
the algorithm is that it is never tired and

instantly detects wanted persons with more
than 97% recognition accuracy, even if a
guard gets distracted for a split second.
“iFalcon plays the role of an assistant to
security officers and makes their lives easier
by alerting them about any potential match
against wanted lists, without distracting
them from their primary duties. Once the
system finds a match, it will display the
photo of the person identified that is stored
in the database as well as the photo taken by
iFalcon on-site and the match percentage.
“The solution was successfully tested
on busy streets, crowded stadiums and
popular markets, resulting in further iFalcon
deployments across the GCC countries. Aside
from AR glasses, the solution can be installed
on drones, wearable cameras, mobile phones
and cars. Most common use cases of the
iFalcon system currently include:
• Security controls on busy streets
• Mass events
• Vehicle licence plate recognition and
stolen car search
• Security of malls and markets
“iFalcon undergoes regular system upgrades
to increase and improve its functionalities,
capabilities, and ease of deployment and to
further improve the performance of security
agencies in the GCC.” n
THE SOLUTION ALLOWS WEARERS TO
DISCRETELY SCAN FACES IN A CROWD
AND COMPARE THEM AGAINST A
COMPREHENSIVE OFFLINE DATABASE.
