"Leicestershire Police will be the first force in the UK to conduct a six month trial of new facial recognition technology that promises to help identify individuals in just a few seconds.\r\n\r\nCalled NeoFace, the system can compare any digital image (like CCTV or footage from body-worn cameras) with photos held on a police database - in this case, Leicestershire's database containing information about more than 90,000\u00A0people. By quickly comparing measurements of key facial features it can speed up the computerized but otherwise time-consuming process of finding a match, which can sometimes take &amp;quot;hours&amp;quot;, Leicestershire Police said.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe force said it has already been considering it for evaluation for a couple of months already and that two hundred suspects have already been through the system. However, there is a slight drawback, the results can't be used as evidence in court, although they're useful to spur new lines of enquiry, the police said.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0New \u2018face recognition\u2019 technology helps to crack crime\u00A0[Leicestershire Police]\r\n\r\nFeatured Image Credit - Shutterstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
