Description

The Finnish Border Guard has had the right to use automated facial recognition since 2005 as part of the automation of passport checking (1:1 verification of a passenger's face to the chip in their passport). Currently, the Border Guard doesn't use 1:N identification although it has the right to use KASTU in investigation operations and in operations related to preventing or unveiling a crime. The supplier of Helsinki-Vantaa’s FR system and the algorithm that it runs on is Vision-Box S.A. – other technical details of the Border Guard’s surveillance systems are confidential.
