Face Recognition Vendor Test

The Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) is an evaluation process that measures how accurately and effectively facial recognition technology identifies or verifies individuals. Conducted by organizations like NIST, it tests various algorithms across different scenarios, such as lighting, age, and image quality. The goal is to compare performances, identify strengths and weaknesses, and ensure these systems are reliable for applications like security, access control, and law enforcement. Essentially, FRVT helps stakeholders understand what facial recognition tools can do and how well they perform in real-world conditions.
