# Performance Overview In **Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) | NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)**, RECOGNITO's facial recognition algorithm scored among the top algorithms in both 1:1 verification and 1:N identification scenarios. **In particular,** **the *****recognito-001***** algorithm currently ranks Top 1 in NIST FRVT 1:1 verification performance.**

FRTE 1:1 Performance Latest Update [2024-04-17]

{% hint style="info" %} FRVT used 1999 to 2023 is being retired. FRVT has been rebranded and split into **FRTE (Face Recognition Technology Evaluation)** and **FATE (Face Analysis Technology Evaluation)**. {% endhint %} ## Technology evaluation in NIST FRTE 1:1 Verification RECOGNITO algorithm(***recognito\_000, recognito\_001***) ranked Top 1 in **NIST FRTE 1:1 verification** performance among 570 vendors. The table shows the top performing 1:1 algorithms measured on **false non-match rate** (**FNMR**) across several different datasets.

## FALSE NON-MATCH RATE (FNMR) **FNMR** is the proportion of mated comparisons below a threshold set to achieve the FMR given in the header on the fourth row. **FMR** is the proportion of impostor comparisons at or above that threshold. **The light grey values give rank over all algorithms in that column.**

## Summary FNMR value in FRTE 1:1 The 3rd column is summary FNMR value (so that readers can look at the more accurate algorithms first)

## Comparison of FNMR values according to dataset ### - Dataset: VISA vs BORDER | FNMR @ FMR = 0.000001 The test was performed by comparing high-quality images from the **VISA** dataset against lower quality images from the **BORDER** dataset. Both datasets include subjects from more than 100 countries, with specific imbalances due to visa issuance patterns and border-crossing demographics correspondingly. RECOGNITO algorithm accuracy in this scenario was **0.16% FNMR (Top1)** at 0.0001% FMR.

### - Dataset: VISA | FNMR @ FMR = 0.000001 The dataset represents typical photos of US visa applicants. The face images are generally high quality. Part of the images are live capture and the other part is photographed from paper photos. RECOGNITO algorithm accuracy in this scenario was **0.06% FNMR** **(Top1)** at 0.0001% FMR.

### - Dataset: MUGSHOT | FNMR @ FMR = 0.000010 The dataset represents typical photos of suspects taken by law enforcement officers. The photos were taken in a controlled environment thus their quality is high. RECOGNITO algorithm accuracy in this scenario was **0.21% FNMR** **(Top1)** at 0.001% FMR.
