Suprema, the biometrics and ID product company, will showcase BioSign 3.0, an AI based in-display fingerprint authentication algorithm and LookSign, a 3D facial recognition product at Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona from February 26 to March 1.
Featured in Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 smartphones, Suprema BioSign is using Suprema’s proprietary AI (artificial intelligence). With LookSign, the company’s latest 3D facial recognition solution, Suprema plans to enter the premium smartphone market, the firm says.
In the case of in-display fingerprint recognition, complexity of algorithm is known to be very high due to its sensor structure and imaging characteristics. As the firm says, algorithms now play a more critical role in recognition performance compared to conventional sensors.
The in-display oriented BioSign 3.0 provides higher level of recognition performance and speed by combining Suprema’s optical fingerprint imaging and AI technologies.
At the show, Suprema will also reveal LookSign, offering 3D facial recognition for smartphones. Last year, the company launched FaceStation 2, a facial recognition access control terminal featuring Suprema’s own near-infra-red imaging. Award winner of Sweden’s Detektor International Award 2017 in Best Access Control Products, FaceStation 2 features a matching speed of 3,000 matches per second, an operating illuminance up to 25,000 lx, and error rate of FAR at 0.00002 per cent.
LookSign blends FaceStation 2’s facial recognition with 3D image processing techniques. LooksSign uses surface light source and patterned light to gain 2D and 3D information to provide recognition and security, the product developers say. Suprema plans to discuss co-operation with sensor producers to develop integrated solutions at MWC 2018.
Brian Song, CEO at Suprema, said: “Suprema’s core competitiveness is ongoing technological innovation. BioSign 3.0 and LookSign will showcase a new leap in biometric technology in the smartphone market and attract more smartphone manufacturers. As a fingerprint recognition algorithm technology, BioSign provides superior authentication performance and matching speed even in a small sized fingerprint sensor of 4×3.2mm, and it is an essential solution for applying fingerprint recognition function to mid-to-low range smartphones well as high-ends,”
