International. Idemia announced that its facial recognition device, VisionPass, received the SIA New Product Showcase Award in the Biometrics category, following a virtual ceremony held on July 9.
The Idemia team made a presentation of the company in front of the judges giving an overview "behind the curtain" of why and how the company developed this product from a blank sheet, listening to the weak points of partners and customers, as well as their needs in terms of performance, reliability, user experience, etc.
The team then explained the technical decisions made by its R&D department to meet these very demanding requirements and obtain this recognition.
Its 2D+3D+infrared cameras, combined with AI-trained algorithms, offer the following features:
Totally hygienic and frictionless – no need to stop and fix the device, automatically adapts to the size of the person (120-200 cm) and tolerates facial angles
Accurate and fast: up to 30 people per minute, up to 40,000 users
Effective in full sun or total darkness without the need for any dazzling flash, and works with all skin colors
Resistant to identity theft attempts by photo presentation or 3D mask.
Idemia already received a similar award in 2018 for MorphoWave Compact, a biometric device that can scan and verify four fingerprints in less than a second thanks to a contact and hygienic hand gesture.
"We developed the most advanced terminal not only for the sake of the challenge of innovation, but because it was necessary to meet all the needs expressed by our customers: speed, precision, reliability and a true frictionless user experience. Since its launch last May, we have experienced strong demand for VisionPass. Combined with this prestigious SIA award this is a real reward for all the teams that worked on this new product. Today, with VisionPass and MorphoWave, we offer the most powerful contactless biometric offering on the market," said Yves Portalier, Executive Vice President of Idemia's Biometrics and Automotive Business Unit.
