With the MegaMatcher 13.0 release, Neurotechnology presents a new set of biometric recognition algorithms that include significant improvements to accuracy and identification speed along with new algorithm enhancements and additional features. These include:
Fingerprint algorithm:
- More accurate matching of children’s with adults’ fingerprints
- Capability to estimate if a matched fingerprint is mirrored, which can be useful in criminal cases
- Improved fingerprint quality heatmap estimation
- Fingerprint quality estimation with new features added, such as fingerprint wetness/dryness
Facial recognition algorithm:
- Improved recognition of different face poses
- Enhanced face liveness detection compliant with ISO/IEC 30107-3 presentation attack detection certified by iBeta Quality Assurance
- Redesigned face capturing based on International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) guidelines
- Conversion of hand-drawn face composite to a realistic face image
- New face anatomy attributes, such as nose size, mouth size and eye size
Iris recognition algorithm:
- Improved iris quality estimation
- Recognition with lower-quality iris scans
- Improved iris orientation estimation
Voice recognition algorithm:
- Improved single model working on 8 kHz and 16 kHz recordings
- Significantly improved speed for matching millions voiceprints per second on MegaMatcher Accelerator
- Can be used in Text-Dependent or Text-Independent manner
New tattoo recognition algorithm:
- Provides tattoo detection, verification and identification
- Presents the ability to quickly and accurately identify different instances of the same tattoo from the same subject
“With this new set of biometric algorithms, our MegaMatcher 13.0 products offer greater accuracy and new functionality to serve the most challenging multi-biometric applications,” said Irmantas Naujikas, Director for Neurotechnology.
Neurotechnology also offers an advanced MegaMatcher Identity Registration System.
