Facial Recognition for Stadiums and Events

Both large sporting and other events (for example, mass concerts) present several complex security issues due to the number of attendees. Facial Recognition technology – SAFR offers a robust and agile solution when it comes to managing access control and capacity control, identifying in real time individuals previously banned from the facilities for violent behavior or facilitating the entry of registered users such as VIP members, in addition to providing greater ticket sales.

Once inside the stadium, facial recognition can facilitate a contactless method of purchasing food and beverages, as well as purchasing merchandise. Similarly, this technology can eliminate many points of contact commonly encountered by facility employees, such as the use of traditional access cards, while also offering significant security enhancements.

On the other hand, as long as hygienic-sanitary measures remain in force to control pandemics such as COVID-19, facial recognition technology allows detecting the correct use of masks, playing an important role for fans to access the stadium of a way that minimizes the risk of contracting the virus. Facial recognition provides them with a completely contactless way to validate their access. Facial recognition can also be combined with other thermal image analysis technologies for human temperature control at the entrances to the enclosure, in order to detect people with a high temperature.
