Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying and/or authenticating entities using a combination of independent identification technologies and/or platforms. In one embodiment, a system can comprising a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a reception component that receives image data captured of a person, and an identification component that employs two or more independent identification technologies and/or platforms to determine an identity of the person based on the image data. In some embodiments, the two or more independent identification technologies are selected from a group consisting of: facial recognition, object recognition, text recognition, and gait recognition.

Abstract: Techniques are described for physical security monitoring. In one embodiment, a system can comprising a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components comprise a reception component that receives image data captured at a physical location and a security monitoring component that monitors activity at the physical location based on the image data, wherein the security monitoring component comprises an image data analysis component that evaluates the image data using two or more independent identification technologies and/or platforms to identify people included in the image data and characteristics of the people. The computer executable components further comprise a security evaluation component that determines whether the physical location is associated with a security threat based on the characteristics of the people.

Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying and/or authenticating entities using a combination of independent identification technologies and/or platforms. In one embodiment, a system can comprising a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a reception component that receives, from an entity, a request to authorize the entity based on image data of a person, wherein the request comprises the image data, and an authentication component that determines whether the person included in the image data corresponds to the entity.
