Suprema receives final certification for UID Project in India
Seoul, Korea
Biomini Plus is a compact fingerprint scanner which provides range-leading capture speed and clear image quality by using the company’s advanced optical image processing technology. Along with its recently-added STQC certification, the device has been approved by several global standards including FBI PIV-IQS and FIPS 201 certifications.
The Biomini Plus also features Suprema’s unique ‘hybrid type’ live finger detection (LFD) technology. “The technology is based on the fact that dynamic image characteristics of the fake fingers from the scanner can be distinguished from those of live fingers. By the advanced analysis algorithm to catch the abnormalities in dynamic changing pattern of fingerprints images and static features such as ridge patterns and local intensity distribution, fake fingers are clearly distinguished from those of live fingers. This new LFD technology provides effective solution to protect the fingerprint system from attack via fake fingerprints,” said Brian Song, CTO at Suprema.
“Biomini Plus has been specially developed to meet high-level requirements for India’s UID authentication project which demands fast and high quality image capturing and extra durability in India’s harsh environments. The device also features dust and waterproof rugged structure with IP65 level protection on its sensor surface. Key technology in Biomini Plus is based on our in-depth expertise in biometrics and image processing as well as our years of experience in large-scale government and public projects,” Song added.
With the acquisition of final STQC certification and the company’s hands-on expertise from UID Enrollment and NPR projects in India, Suprema plans to continue its success on upcoming UID Authentication projects in India. In recent years, Suprema's live scanners have been chosen for several worldwide civil and criminal ID projects in the United States, India, Brazil, EU and African countries.
