Ranked #1 for FATE by NIST

The August 2025 Face Analysis Technology Evaluation Quality test by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ranked the Quality Assessment Algorithm (QAA) from Daon as the TOP PERFORMER in one of two test scenarios among 56 global algorithms.

See how top-rated QAA can support your organization.

The Results

When testing false non-matching rate after the removal of 5% of the images that were judged as the lowest quality by the Daon QAA, the result was a 0.0030 false non-match rate (FNMR) with an efficiency of 14.01, besting all other entries. 

How it was Tested

An initial recognition threshold of 0.01 was set for 15 top Face Recognition Technology Evaluation (FRTE)  algorithms. The Daon QAA was used to remove the lowest quality 5% of those images, and results with the new image set were tested for FNMR.

What That Means

Quality of image affects every step in the face recognition process, from FNMR to liveness detection. Performance can be enhanced or limited by image quality. The top-rated QAA from Daon ensures maximum performance from our face matching processes.
