Architecture
Core technology pillars
Four modular components that work together for performance, accuracy, and security.
- Multi-angle detection, even with occlusions
- Real-time 1:N face matching with millisecond latency
- Based on proprietary Safeza AVA-X deep learning models
- Optimized for NVIDIA Jetson edge devices and HPE servers
