IDEMIA, Infineon and pmdtechnologies Are Partnering to Provide an End-to-End 3D Face Recognition Solution
COURBEVOIE, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IDEMIA, the global leader in Augmented Identity, is proud to announce
a close partnership with Infineon and pmdtechnologies. Combining
latest hardware from Infineon and pmdtechnologies and cutting-edge 3D
Face biometric software from IDEMIA, the companies offer a seamless
experience to end-users.
The IDEMIA 3D Face recognition solution, which was unveiled at the last
edition of the Mobile World Congress and that pioneers 3D acquisition
technologies, reflects smartphone users’ demand for simplification,
efficiency and security.
IDEMIA, Infineon and pmdtechnologies are combining their high-level
expertise for this 3D Face recognition solution to provide a complete
solution for OEMs and system integrators that delivers an optimal user
experience, focusing on convenience, extremely fast recognition and
bullet-proof security.
IDEMIA, Infineon and pmdtechnologies will present the 3D Face facial
recognition solution on their respective stands at the Mobile World
Congress 2019 from 25th February.
This joint solution is optimized and ready to be incorporated into any
device design such as smartphones, tablets or PCs, to allow user
authentication for unlocking and securing mobile payments. The companies
are working on new market segments such as Automotive to provide driver
authentication and monitoring systems.
“We are very proud to work closely with Infineon and
pmdtechnologies to continuously improve our IDEMIA 3D Face recognition
solution. Thanks to this partnership, we are today able to provide a
solution that’s ahead of its time and highly secure for a multitude of
use-cases,” says Yves Portalier, EVP of the Connected Objects
Business Unit.
“IDEMIA with their strong background in biometrics and secure
authentication has discovered the power of true 3D data very early.
Matching the 3D scan acquired by the REAL3TM
camera directly in 3D-space with the 3D reference library improves
security and relaxes the demand for high sensor resolutions or multiple
sensors.This is a big step forward compared to conventional 2D-matching
using additional 3D data for liveness-detection and anti-spoofing only”,
says Philipp von Schierstaedt, Vice President and responsible for RF &
Sensors business in Infineon Technologies.
