VILNIUS, Lithuania,
Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Neurotechnology, a provider of deep learning-based solutions and
high-precision biometric identification technologies, today
announced the release of the new Face Verification system. Face
Verification 12 is designed for the integration of facial
authentication and liveness detection into PC, mobile and web
applications for digital onboarding, payment, banking,
telecommunications and other face recognition uses on personal
devices.
Face Verification 12 facial authentication and liveness detection
enables face recognition uses on personal devices.
The new facial recognition algorithm in Face Verification 12
features the same simple APIs as the previous version for
enrollment, liveness checks, authentication and ISO 19794-5 quality
checks while providing even better accuracy for both face
recognition and liveness detection. It also includes a new
encrypted biometric template format with a compact dimension. This
compact template size makes it easier to store biometric data on
small micro controllers or even include it in a QR code with other
data, improving the overall versatility of the product for use in a
wider range of environments.
The new version introduces a web service component that provides
server-based performance for all operations that were previously
available only for use on mobile devices and PCs. The web service
is ready to be deployed on the server of a system integrator or of
an end customer, and the operations can be performed through a
WebRTC and REST API while processing live streaming from a camera
in real time.
Face Verification 12 adds an improved passive mode to both
mobile and server components. The new passive modality doesn't
require the user to perform any active action, and it is able to
detect various types of spoofing attacks, including masks, videos,
photos and others. The new liveness modality adds to the passive
and active modalities in the previous Face Verification SDK,
including an improved blinking detection algorithm.
The new SDK component of the Face Verification system also
allows users to export the face biometric data that is generated
and use it to perform enrollment and verification on smart cards
that integrate the new MegaMatcher On Card 12 algorithm released by
Neurotechnology on November 29, 2021.
This smart card technology performs on-card face template
comparisons and can be used as an additional authentication factor
for applications that require a very high degree of security. The
combination of Face Verification and MegaMatcher On Card forms
a unique product ecosystem in the identity verification market and
provides even greater flexibility and value.
"We see an increasing demand for face recognition technology for
consumer applications," said Antonello
Mincone, business development manager for Neurotechnology.
"However the requirements vary widely, depending on the location
where data is stored, where the biometric checks are perfomed and
the different privacy and security regulations involved. Face
Verification 12 responds to this demand with a new web service
component and smart card compatibility that expand the
architectural capabilities for face authentication. It allows
system integrators to easily implement and deploy different
enrollment and authentication workflows for mobile, web and hybrid
applications," Mincone added.
Face Verification 12 has a convenient licensing model that
accounts for only the number of persons that have effectively used
the deployed system, regardless of whether the enrollment or
liveness check took place on mobile or web. So the same biometric
data, once enrolled, can later be verified in a variety of
authentication scenarios and without extra operational costs.
Face Verification 12 and the entire Neurotechnology biometric
product line can be purchased from Neurotechnology and through
distributors worldwide. A demo application of the web service is
available at faceverification.online. An Android demo, a trial
version of the SDK and a trial version of the web service are also
available. For more information, go
