Biometric methods of identification

Three-dimensional facial recognition

The automated facial recognition system Morpho Face Expert analyzes the three-dimensional structure of a person's face, enters the data into the AFIS database, and allows to use the collected data for: creation of personal identifiers, search for people by investigative authorities, real-time face recognition in a crowd from an external video signal, and other tools for ensuring public security and controlling access to protected objects. The system is capable of building a 3D facial model even from low-resolution photos by analyzing the available profile images.

Biometric identification systems process a person's unique personal data: face, iris and fingerprints. IDEMIA  is the No. 1 company in the field of biometrics and  issuance of documents containing human biometric data.

Benefits of biometrics:

The best guarantee of the uniqueness of a person's identification data, its belonging to one single person.

Dactyloscopic identification

IDEMIA's fingerprint recognition technology has achieved the highest level of accuracy, making the company, through its MorphoTrak subsidiary MorphoTrak, the number one in this field among dozens of competitors. In all 32 types of tests, the accuracy of the results was 17% higher than the nearest competitor, which proves the technology's unrivaled leadership today.* Morpho Card Capture workstation a simple and efficient solution for converting an existing fingerprint database into a digital format and entering it into the AFIS database.

Iris identification

The technology of biometric identification of a person uses the uniqueness of features and peculiarities of the iris of a human eye. The iris is formed before a person is born and does not change throughout life. The iris pattern is very complex, allowing the selection of about 200 control points, which provide a high degree of matching reliability. In comparison, the best fingerprint identification systems use 60-70 points.

Unlike retinal scans, which use infrared light or bright light, iris imaging is not done by scanning but by simply taking a photograph. Scientists have also conducted a number of studies that have shown that the human retina can change over time while the iris remains unchanged. Most importantly, it is impossible to find two absolutely identical iris patterns, even in twins. Eyeglasses and contact lenses, even colored ones, do not affect the quality of the image.

Equipment using biometric technologies

Equipment with the use of biometric technologies today is actively used both in the private and public sectors around the world in many areas: population registration, access control, secure payments and many others. Biometric terminals are adapted specifically for physical access control and logging of visits by working personnel.

OEM modules (software) allow manufacturers to add biometric identification options to the equipment they produce (ATMs, PoS terminals, voting machines, etc.) without any specialized knowledge of biometrics.

Desktop biometric sensors are designed for a variety of tasks, such as:

1) Census;

2) customer registration;

3) logical access control;

4) ensuring the security of transactions, etc.
