In a live scenario, the touch screen option would present first. Subjects approaching the A4Vision readers will first be offered the touch screen keypad, while hearing audio requesting PIN entry. Upon valid PIN entry the reader's screen converts to 3D facial recognition mode with active feedback. In PIN verification mode the A4 system first accepts a valid PIN entry and then will reference the 3D face template stored with that number in the Database. The system then verifies that the person belongs with the PIN by matching the stored template to the person standing in front of the 3D Face reader.
"While A4Vision is at the forefront of facial recognition, we endorse multiple factor security and recognize the value to the markets to offer security options with economy, ease of use, and speed," said A4vision director of Product Management Ryan Zlockie. "As biometric identification processing becomes widespread in government, civil ID, and consumer applications, A4Vision's Vision Access 3D Face Reader is ready to meet a wide range of needs and applications within a single product."
The Vision Access 3D Face Reader is available now and will be available by April 30 with the touch screen option.
A4Vision offers 3D face recognition products through companies such as IDLink, Logitech, NTT Communications, Singapore Technologies, Sagem, Securitas, SITA, Thales, and global partners Motorola, Siemens, and Unisys.
