Young scientists at the Robotics laboratory in MEPI has created a unique device that allowing to remote identification of human behavior, a non - contact lie detector and face recognition system.

Both projects are focused on the common task - the reduction of risks for financial organizations. Face recognition is common used in the task of avoid fraudsters to conclude repeat business with the Bank, thereby reducing the risks of non-return of consumer and mortgage loans. Also security systems that studies human behavior, actively used in law enforcement, psychology and HR departments.

The basic idea of the prototypes created in MEPhI – scanning a number of physiological parameters in video. If a person is nervous or actively comes up with answers to tough questions, his reflexes, delayed responses, facial expressions, heart rate and respiratory rate are subject to change. The system records changes to 22 markers on the face and chest.

Contactless lie detector has already been successfully tested on hundreds of people who were given 20 questions. Recognition accuracy of people answers on this sample was 65-75%, depending on the quality of the video material.

In the nearest months, scientists are going to start integrating contactless test types of lie detectors in business processes.
