IDEMIA Excels in Department of Homeland Security Biometric Technology Rally with OneLook Face/Iris SystemBILLERICA, Mass., Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEMIA, the global leader in Augmented Identity, today announced that its contactless OneLook™ device for rapid capture, matching and processing of face and iris biometrics, earned top scores in all three performance categories in the 2018 Biometric Technology Rally, hosted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T). Biometric Capture and Identification systems from participating organizations were tested for user satisfaction, effectiveness (capture capability and matching capability) and efficiency (throughput). OneLook was the only face/iris system that scored among the top three systems tested at the rally. OneLook offers a new approach to capture and identification through a single, easy-to-use, at-a-distance biometric capture device that provides rapid capture, matching and processing. Requiring little involvement from users, OneLook can be integrated into an existing customer touchpoint, such as a self-service kiosk, or provided as a turnkey solution for integration into a gate or counter. S&T's first Biometric Technology Rally, held in March 2018, with results published in late July, used a standard security checkpoint process, which require speed and reliability, to test the ability of biometric identity systems to acquire and match images from a diverse volunteer population within a realistic time constraint. Six of the eleven companies that participated entered unimodal biometric face-only systems. IDEMIA was among the five companies that competed with a multimodal biometric face/iris system to provide an enhanced level of authentication – more effectively addressing the need for accurate identification in high-security environments. Among the results:>
A demonstration of the OneLook solution, which is currently available, will be featured at the Future Travel Experience (FTE Global) in Las Vegas September 10-12, 2018 at booth E33 or learn more at OneLook.
