Suprema AI launched a face recognition OEM module, Q-Face Pro, at the ISC West security exhibition in the United States. The South Korean biometrics and access control product manufacturer described Q-Face Pro as its response to the growing need for contactless security in the post-covid world.
The module comes with an AI-based face recognition algorithm and a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) as AI processor technology providing face recognition for up to 50,000 users. The developer adds that it provides a high level of accuracy for the detection of fake faces, along with authentication when users’ faces change, such as when wearing hygiene masks, or different hairstyles, hats and glasses.
The module meets European GDPR data protection regulations and protects user information from external hacking attempts by incorporating a separate Secure Element (SE) chip and adopting user face data encryption. As for working in the field it offers optimized radiant heat design and supports a number of contactless authentication methods including face recognition, QR codes and barcodes, the company adds.
Q-Face Pro can be applied to various access control devices, time and attendance terminals, smart kiosks for customer management, data centres, ATMs, unmanned vending machines, door locks, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. Suprema AI provides SDKs for each major OS (Operating System) version including Android, and real-time technical support.
The company reports that during product pre-evaluations before the launch, Q-Face Pro received favourable reviews from leading physical security product manufacturers based in North America and Europe. A number of global customers are now preparing to launch new products with Q-Face Pro.
Song Bong-Seop, CEO of Suprema AI, a subsidiary of Suprema Group, said: “The result of in-depth market research, Q-Face Pro is a next-generation face recognition OEM module that reflects the needs of large-scale customers leading the global market today. We expect to further enhance our global leadership in the Edge AI solutions industry by creating use cases in new fields and expanding the market.”
