Tessera offers biometric recognition and security software

The face and iris recognition software packages from Tessera Technologies are a high-performance collection of biometric security and authentication solutions for mobile platforms. Based on deep learning neural network software by FotoNation and proven MIRLIN Iris recognition technologies, the solutions provide authentication in the most challenging outdoor light and shade conditions. The packages fit a number of mobile applications including device access, device personalization, and mobile banking transactions.

The package combines the latest deep learning advances with industry-leading computational imaging algorithms. It uses any front-view/selfie cameras to rapidly identify the subject in various light conditions and poses. With a false acceptance rate (FAR) of 1 in 10 k, combined with liveliness detection, the package delivers enhanced security.

MERLIN Iris recognition delivers advanced biometric capabilities for mobile devices that can accurately identify a subject even while he or she is wearing glasses and works even in direct sunlight. With a FAR of 1 in 10 M, it delivers enhanced reliability without sacrificing security and is being deployed in commercial buildings, in multiple European airports, and at military bases around the world.

When Iris and face recognition solutions are deployed together, secure authentication can be achieved with an FAR of up to 1 in 1 billion. Development kits for FotoNation’s biometrics solutions are available now.
