At the show, which starts today at the Dubai International Convention Center, Suprema will showcase a prototype version of the long-awaited Facestation 2, the company’s flagship face recognition terminal which is designed for use in access control and time & attendance applications.

The new Facestation 2 is loaded with Suprema’s latest face recognition technology designed to provide the world’s best performance in terms of matching speed, user capacity and operating illuminance. Speaking of speed, the new technology performs at an ultra-fast matching speed of 3,000 matches per second, which the company says makes it the world’s fastest facial recognition technology in its class. Suprema’s new face recognition technology has been improved by enhanced algorithms, new optical structure and a class leading quad-core CPU. As a result, the matching speed has been improved by 300% over and above 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 for a greater range of operating illuminance from zero lux to 25,000 lux which covers almost every possible lighting condition regardless of whether it is indoors or outdoors, or 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 the increasing demand for 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.

Along with new face recognition technology, Suprema will showcase the company’s extensive range of biometric time & attendance solutions and access control systems.
