South Korean biometrics company Suprema has said it plans to showcase the “world's fastest” face recognition solution.The company will demo a prototype version of long-awaited FaceStation 2, the company's flagship face recognition terminal, at Intersec DubaiSuprema says the terminal, which is designed for use in access control and time & attendance applications, provides “the world's best performance in terms of matching speed, user capacity and operating illuminance”.The terminal is capable of 3,000 matches per second, which makes it the world's fastest facial recognition technology in its class, notes Suprema, adding that the technology has been improved by an enhanced algorithm, new optical structure and class leading quad-core CPU.As a result, matching speed has been improved by 300% than its predecessor.On the optical side, the new face recognition technology now overcomes possible interference from dynamic lighting conditions including sunlight and ambient light. The new technology now allows greater range of operating illuminance from zero lux to 25,000 lux which covers almost every possible lighting conditions regardless of indoor or outdoor, day or night.”The recent advances of our face recognition technology clearly reflect Suprema's leadership in biometrics as well as our commitment in the Middle East market. Our focus of developing this new technology is to fulfill increasing demand of highly secure biometric authentication in time & attendance applications. Suprema's 2nd generation face recognition far outpaces all current technologies in terms of matching speed and accuracy and, moreover, our technology offers greater practicality and robustness by offering increased operating illuminance, height range and user capacity,” said Hanchul Kim, Director at Suprema.
