Easy, Fast and Accurate
The AOptix iris recognition system is ideal for a wide variety of applications that require high subject usability, high throughput and a high degree of identification accuracy. The applications we serve include:
- Border Security. Governments around the world are now implementing strategies to control who enters the country and who receives travel documents. Since the size of the databases are very large and there is a need for highest accuracy, AOptix’s iris recognition solutions are ideal for both enrollment and recognition station deployments. For example, emerging ePassport programs embed smartcard-type chips into the passport document for automated information collection. ePassports contain digital fields for biometric templates that allow positive authentication of the holder at any border crossing location.
Immigration control programs are also being implemented by many countries in which each visitor is screened at time of entry with a biometric capture to compare against watch lists. Another important application is visa applicant screening, which collects a biometric of each applicant to ensure that the person has not applied before under a different identity.
- National and Regional ID cards. Protecting the public interest from fraud is a major concern of many governments. Biometrics are the only feasible way to ensure that each recipient obtains one and only one card. Deduplication of very large databases through biometrics has already been proven highly effective, and the highest accuracy of an AOptix iris solution will offer unprecedented deduplication effectiveness. These cards can serve a variety of governmental programs, such as national ID cards, welfare or ration cards, permanent resident or other guest worker cards, drivers licenses, voter registration, and social services workers, among others.
- Aviation Security. Perhaps no other institution has invested more in security in the recent past than airports. While explosives and weapons detection in checked luggage and passenger screening are the most visible forms of new security technology, the AvSec community is now implementing biometrics-enabled identification solutions for airside, secure access control, registered traveler programs, and “Checkpoint of the Future” concepts.
- Governmental and Commercial Access Control. High security facilities now demand high confidence authentication of individuals who have gained permission to enter buildings or special areas. No longer is a simple ID card sufficient to authenticate the identity of employees, contractors, visitors or other guests. Iris recognition biometrics are now serving as a high confidence, single factor authentication technology. Advancements in smartcards have enabled fast and routine multi-factor authentication, and are being deployed around the world in both governments and corporations alike.
AOptix’s iris recognition system provides fast and easy to use iris capture that will minimize failure to acquire (FTA) rates while ensuring the highest levels of accuracy to avoid false rejects that can derail deployments. It is fully compatible with single factor and multi-factor solutions in a variety of system architectures, such as match-on-card, match against card, and match against a central database.
- Law Enforcement. The first community to embrace operational biometrics was Law Enforcement—it has been over 100 years since fingerprints have been employed to identify criminals by police agencies. However, the recent emergence of alternative biometrics like iris recognition makes possible a multi-biometrics approach to criminal and prisoner identification that takes advantage of the greatly different usage scenarios of alternative biometrics.
Iris recognition promises to add significant flexibility to the law enforcement arsenal of identification techniques. For example, in a booking station, the AOptix advanced biometrics hand-held devices enable high accuracy field identification of individuals who can remain restrained in handcuffs, ensuring officer safety during challenging detentions. The AOptix iris recognition system provides the ideal iris enrollment device, offering ease of image capture, pristine image database construction, and full interoperability with hand-held devices.
