Facial Recognition Technology Enhances Quarantine Enforcement and Venue Security in Australia

Corsight AI and AusComply have partnered to develop an application that assists companies in upholding self-quarantine regulations. This program can recognize individuals mandated to be in isolation and will notify administrators if they access a participating location.

This facial identification technology is already deployed by AusComply in numerous bars and nightclubs, including The Argyle and The Gregory Hills Hotel. AusComply’s creator lauded Corsight’s system for its capacity to function in difficult circumstances, such as dimly lit and smoky settings, and with pre-existing surveillance cameras.

In addition to recognizing those in quarantine, the application can also signal anyone prohibited from a specific venue. The Argyle’s manager, Brian Sarkis, expressed enthusiasm for implementing this system to enhance the safety and security of his establishment.

In an effort to guarantee a seamless entry experience for visitors, The Star has introduced AusComply’s facial recognition software for visitor check-in. This program aids in recognizing individuals who are on the self-exclusion registry, providing reassurance to those who have opted for self-exclusion that The Star is implementing suitable safeguards.

Apprehensions arose regarding the ability of security staff to effectively pinpoint self-excluded persons attempting to access the facilities with modified appearances. Nevertheless, the sophisticated facial recognition technology employed by AusComply possesses the capability to precisely identify individuals despite alterations such as facial hair growth, headwear, or eyewear.

Crucially, the system prioritizes data protection. Any individual not flagged by the system is instantly obscured, and their facial information is permanently deleted from the system. This guarantees adherence to data protection regulations such as GDPR.

This initiative forms a component of a broader effort to curb illicit gaming activities, which also encompassed the restriction of an additional five unauthorized gaming websites within Australia.
