| EYERA biometrics
employs the unique characteristics and features of the human iris
in order to verify the identity of an individual. The camera system's
process begins with a photograph. A set of specialized cameras,
typically very close to the subject, uses an infrared imager to
illuminate the eye and capture a very high-resolution photograph.
This process takes only one to two seconds and provides the details
of the iris that are mapped, recorded and stored for future matching
/ verification. The inner edge of the iris is located by the IriTech's
patented algorithm which maps the iris' distinct patterns and
characteristics to determine if a biometric sample and record
is a match.
The false acceptance rate for the recognition system is 1 in
1.2 million, statistically much better than the average fingerprint
recognition system. The real benefit is in the false-rejection
rate, a measure of authenticated users who are rejected. Fingerprint
scanners have a 3 percent false-rejection rate, whereas the
scanning systems boast rates at the 0 percent level.
A highly accurate technology from EYERA has vast appeal because
the inherent argument for any biometric is, of course, increased
security. |
