Facial recognition firm Aurora has launched its 3D access control system, following 12 months testing, the firm says.
Deployed in pilot schemes across the UK, Aurora’s 3D facial recognition offers a breakthrough, it is claimed, in the usability of biometric technology. The system will provide fail-safe access security, according to the makers, across a range of industries, it is claimed. The manufacturers say that 3D facial recognition addresses many of the issues highlighted by recent deployments of 2D systems. Aurora says that 2D facial recognition is susceptible to changes in lighting conditions, camera angles and facial expressions. 3D facial recognition systems are more robust in varying lighting conditions and with the angle of the subjects face, the firm says.
What they say
Hugh Carr-Archer, CEO, Aurora said: โWe believe we are the first in the UK to offer an additional layer to access control systems based on 3D facial recognition. It offers a non intrusive system that provides the โsomething you areโ to add to โsomething you haveโ such as an ID card or token and โsomething you knowโ such as a pass code or number. Providing a secure environment is paramount to protecting assets, profits, people and brand reputation. 3D recognition is a quantum leap forward for access control and makes real security affordable to a much wider range of applications.โ
