Biomatiques partners Singapore firm for iris recognition tech

KOLKATA: Leading Iris recognition technology company, Biomatiques Identification Solutions, has partnered with Singapore based Infinity Optics Solutions to bring upgraded technology products by March 2016.

The tie-up will help to integrate Biometric Extended Depth-of-Field image capture (BEDoF) in the Iris recognition technology for the Indian market, the company said in a statement.

"We are partnering with Infinity Optics who are the leaders in the market. It is definitely a benefit for us as it has helped us to upgrade the quality of our lenses which will eventually improve the end-user experience," Biomatiques CEO Tamaal Roy said.

The probability of duplication for voice recognition is 1 in 500, facial recognition - 1 in 1,000, fingerprint - 1 in 10,000, Apple touch ID - 1 in 50,000 while, in iris recognition, it is 1 in 15,00,000.

Iris recognition uses random textures that are visible in the eye, using the eye to confirm someone's identity.

Biomatiques claimed it is the only Indian company to launch its latest range of products which are "ultimate in terms of access and security."
