Biometric software services company Aware Inc. has announced that its CaptureSuite solution has been chosen by a European government to be deployed at its borders. Using the CaptureSuite fingerprint solution will enable the border agency of the country — which is yet to be identified — to quickly capture the biometric fingerprint data of travelers […]
Spain-based facial recognition company Herta has announced it is launching a new version of its facial recognition algorithm that is able to identify people wearing masks. This comes as the world is dealing with the outbreak of COVID-19, which was recently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Herta had been working on […]
A study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released last Thursday shows that many of the facial recognition algorithms used today misidentify people of color far more often than middle-aged white men. The study tested roughly 18 million photos of more than 8 million people taken from databases run by the State […]
“It is capable of matching a fingerprint within a Secure Element, and Precise Biometrics says it can support fingerprint sensors as small as 30mm².” Precise Biometrics has officially unveiled its new fingerprint matching algorithm solution for the smart card market, dubbed Precise BioMatch Card. It isn’t an entirely new solution, but rather an adaptation of […]
“The refinements were made primarily to better target the software solution to smart card applications…” Precise Biometrics has refined its Precise BioMatch Embedded algorithm software to enable support for even smaller fingerprint sensors. The company says its software now supports sensors as small as 30mm², and that it can operate via power-efficient microcontrollers. The refinements […]
