The rapid growth of cloud technologies is creating opportunities for developers and integrators to deliver better products faster than ever before. The flexibility and scalability of the SaaS (News - Alert) delivery model, together with trusted and proven computer vision technology, creates unique advantages in helping to solve customers' business needs.

Neurotechnology is a provider of high-precision biometric identification, object recognition and computer vision technologies. The company launched SkyBiometry, a company providing cloud-based biometric Software- as- a- Service, as a spin-off. SkyBiometry also offers a range of paid plans and services to help customers rapidly integrate biometric technologies into their products and online services.

In conjunction with the corporate launch, SkyBiometry introduced a free, cloud-based face detection and recognition API based on a facial recognition algorithm from Neurotechnology, the underlying technology behind many commercial facial recognition products around the world.

"With the launch of SkyBiometry we are pleased to provide cloud-based biometric products and services," Denis Kocetkov, chief executive officer of SkyBiometry, said in a statement.

SkyBiometry's team of experienced Neurotechnology professionals have five to 15 years of experience in algorithm research, biometric solution development and consultancy, enabling them to help customers accelerate product development, integration and time to market. The fast, accurate detection and identification technologies can be used for traditional biometric identification systems, such as user ID, security and time management as well as new uses in entertainment, games, online marketing, social media and mobile applications.

"Some face recognition integrators prefer to implement their solutions as online services instead of implementing them as on-premises end-user applications," said Algimantas Malickas, chief executive officer of Neurotechnology.

"SkyBiometry offers integrators an easy way to use our face recognition technologies in their online service offerings," Malickas added.

In continuation of this announcement, the company is making its first offering, the new SkyBiometry face detection and recognition API, available for free. The new API gives developers, who are new to biometric face recognition, a no-risk opportunity to explore using the technology. The SkyBiometry service is accessible via the internet.
