Innovatrics has launched IFace 3.0, the next generation of the company's facial biometric technology.The biometric firm says that features include enhanced real-time ICAO check, identification and authentication (1:1 matching), multi-face tracking, and people analytics, including age and gender profiling. Another feature of the technology is newly introduced GPU acceleration support, meaning IFace 3.0 can perform thousands of facial template extractions per second.According to the company, the technology is based on deep neural networks, a technology which has resulted in dramatic improvements in facial recognition accuracy and overall matching speed.Innovatrics says: "By better understanding the needs of customers using IFace in their mobile applications, Innovatrics has managed to significantly reduce the size of the software development kit (SDK) on Android and iOS platforms, which is critical for mobile users.""IFace 3.0 represents a significant milestone for Innovatrics," says Jan Lunter, founder and CTO, Innovatrics. "Early evaluations put us alongside the top vendors in terms of matching speed and accuracy. This aligns with our vision of having an exceptional facial biometric technology to complement our fingerprint technology, which has been an industry leader for over a decade. We are now in a unique position to deliver powerful multimodal identity management solutions for projects of all sizes."IFace has been integrated into a number of AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System) deployments including border control and civil identification projects. It is also available as a standalone SDK or can be integrated into commercial solutions, such as mobile banking applications, event security systems, and people analytics.
