(NASDAQ:TSRA) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary FotoNation Limited, has introduced a new high-performance suite of face and iris recognition biometric security and authentication solutions for mobile platforms. Based on FotoNation’s unique deep learning neural network, and industry proven MIRLIN® Iris recognition technologies, these new solutions deliver authentication in the most challenging outdoor light and shade conditions, including liveliness detection, even when the subject is wearing glasses.
With these new solutions, FotoNation delivers accurate, secure, compact, and easy-to-integrate biometric security solutions to mobile device manufacturers and financial institutions for a wide range of applications including device access, device personalization, payments and other mobile banking transactions.
Facial Recognition – By combining its latest deep learning advances with industry-leading computational imaging algorithms, FotoNation’s face recognition solution uses existing front-view/selfie cameras to rapidly identify the subject in various light conditions and poses. With a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 1 in 10 thousand and liveliness detection, FotoNation face recognition solution delivers enhanced security.
Iris Recognition – Using patented MIRLIN® technology, FotoNation’s iris recognition platform delivers a unique high performance solution for mobile devices that can accurately identify a subject, even while wearing glasses, and functions in a wide range of lighting conditions, including direct sunlight. With a FAR of 1 in 10 million, FotoNation iris recognition delivers enhanced reliability without sacrificing security and is already being deployed in commercial buildings, in multiple European airports and at military bases around the world.
“FotoNation has a long history of delivering powerful computational imaging solutions to the mobile market, with over 2.9 billion products shipped to date,” said Sumat Mehra, senior vice president and general manager of FotoNation. “When FotoNation Iris and Face recognition solutions are deployed together, enhanced, secure authentication can be achieved with an FAR of up to 1 in 1 billion.”
