Panasonic Cameras Detect Faces In The Dark

Panasonic has come up with their latest addition to the face detection technology. With this addition it is possible too detect faces even in the dark as well as in overly bright surroundings. Apart from this, it can even detect faces which are behind the glass and also when the faces are totally covered with reflections.

It can easily pass through windshields of car and detect the face of the individual in the car. According to the company this system can produce near monochrome pictures with QVGA resolution. The system can easily the faces of individuals who are around 10m away.
