Neurotechnology VeriLook vs Sensory TrulySecure

Neurotechnology VeriLook is a self-hosted face-recognition SDK for developers and integrators building stand-alone or client-server applications. It supports 1-to-1 face verification and 1-to-many identification, and can process multiple faces in live video and still images. The maker gives detection times of 0.01–0.86 seconds, depending on settings. Liveness detection has passive and active modes and is stated to comply with ISO 30107-3. The maker also says partially occluded faces, including masked faces, can be recognized, and near-infrared images can be matched with visible-light images. Optional tools include age estimation, gender classification, facial attributes, 68 facial feature points, face morph detection and image quality assessment. Samples and tutorials are listed for C/C++, C#, VB.NET, Java and Python. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. The Standard SDK costs €339, paid once and the Extended SDK €859, paid once; both are perpetual development licenses, with component licenses required for each deployment device. A 30-day trial is available.

Sensory TrulySecure combines face recognition and speaker verification for biometric authentication. The recognition runs on-device and can fuse face and voice signals. Its convenience mode accepts face, voice, or a combined score, while TrulySecure mode requires both face and voice to match. Voice recognition supports text-dependent and text-independent use, and face liveness detection is designed to resist spoof attacks. Supported camera types include 2D RGB, infrared, and time-of-flight; Sensory says version 4.0 also supports 3D and infrared cameras for use in low light or darkness. Adaptive enrollment can refine a user profile during normal use, with the aim of reducing false rejections. Sensory also describes moving some authentication processing to the GPU and integrating on-device liveness detection and feature extraction into cloud-based systems. ST lists FIDO UAF certification for Android and iOS. Sensory lists implementations for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. Licensing terms and price are provided by Sensory on request; a 2018 SDK announcement listed a $2,500 price including up to five hours of support.
