Experience has shown that users are the weakest link in the chain leading to reliable data protection of the user. Sophisticated algorithms for data encryption breaking on primitive passwords or simply ignored. Change the situation can biometric identification of users. Fortunately, the pattern of the iris pattern or papillary lines on the fingertips are unique enough to prevent logon stranger. One such technology reliable smartphone owner recognition by the pattern of the iris and facial recognition has created and developed the company FotoNation, which since 2008 has moved to full ownership of the company Tessera Technologies.
Interestingly, FotoNation company's technology grew out of the algorithm to remove the pictures from the "red-eye" in flash photographed people. Remove the "red eyes" can be a double flash, but FotoNation algorithm removes this undesirable effect of software on digital pictures with a flash. According to the developer, today this technology is used by 9 of the 10 cameras and almost every smartphone, so implement a new algorithm for recognizing the face of the owner, and the iris of his eyes, you can easily.
The first implementation of the algorithm has been completely FotoNation Face Recognition software. To date, it developed a licensable processor unit, making it at the hardware level and much faster - 100 milliseconds instead of several seconds. In addition, the resources dedicated processor unauthorized access is difficult, can not be said about the access to the normal processor and applications. By 2014 FotoNation algorithm worked for 60% of the smartphone.
In 2015, the company buys FotoNation intellectual property Mirlin companies to recognize the pattern of the iris. Mirlin company's technology is already implemented in the system of passenger identification in a number of European airports, military aviation (pilots recognition) and Iraq to identify people. On the basis of the development the company intends to introduce people recognition technology cars and video surveillance systems.
In contrast to the mass of similar algorithms implementation FotoNation the only one that is able to identify with precision the person without access to external resources in the form of clouds. Local treatment makes one mistake per 10 million, while the competing algorithms are wrong once per 10 000 people. This high accuracy is achieved by the simultaneous use of the recognition of facial features and iris pattern. technology also protects against fraud such as scanning photos of people, because it defines a living person in front of a camera or a image.
