IriTech, Inc., a leading provider of iris-based biometric identification technology, products and services announced today significant advancements in both operational speed and accuracy, vastly improving on what was already the #1 iris recognition technology in the NIST IREX report.
Matching throughput has been increased up to 160 times faster than what was submitted for the NIST IREX test, easily surpassing the next-best competitors. This speed increase is accompanied by a 90% FNMR improvement on the open-to-the-public BATH test set.
In many biometric identification solutions, when dealing with speed and accuracy, one factor can be improved at the expense of the other. IriTech delivers both advancements at the same time. By jointly improving both performance parameters, IriTech has created a new level of "best value" in iris recognition, ensuring customers achieve the most accurate and efficient solutions possible.
"Iris biometric identification is the most powerful tool available to aid positive identification and offers great value to the national ID systems being constructed around the world," stated Dr. Kim, President and CEO of IriTech, Inc. "Our advancements will deliver the most accurate identification results at the lowest operational costs, making national ID solutions simultaneously effective and affordable. De-duplication efforts in large populations will especially benefit from these advancements in speed and accuracy."
Even with a commanding performance lead regarding competitors, IriTech continues to rapidly advance its iris identification technology to ensure its customers receive and maintain optimal operations.
Through continued iris recognition advancement and the recent release of a new family of easy to use high performance, affordable USB 2.0 iris cameras complete with onboard security features, IriTech continues to lead the industry in providing customers with a flexible and modular iris identification capability.
