AI: The Game Changer in Future Biometric Access Control, With Suprema Leading the Way
September 07, 2023
In the ever-evolving realm of biometric access control, a compelling transformation is underway as AI technology takes center stage. This shift is driven by the need to efficiently manage large volumes of data, enhance accuracy, automate tasks, and address the escalating complexity of security threats. At the heart of this evolution lies AI's pivotal role in propelling biometric recognition technology to new horizons. Its capability to meticulously analyze biometric data surpasses human capabilities, enabling it to detect even the slightest variations in facial structures or fingerprints within a fraction of a second. This technology is at the forefront to solve the challenges confronting biometric access control.
1. Managing Data Volume
The influx of data from various sources such as surveillance cameras, sensors, and logs has overwhelmed human operators. Here's where AI steps in, tirelessly processing and dissecting these colossal datasets. With each data point, AI learns and analyzes, to continually enhance its performance.
2. Enhancing Recognition Accuracy
AI algorithms effectively address the challenge of false positives and negatives. AI can analyze biometric data with high precision, leading to improved recognition accuracy. AI can identify distinctive patterns and features that might be difficult for traditional algorithms to discern. Also, AI can incorporate feedback from past errors to improve its algorithms, leading to better overall performance.
3. Adaptability to Variability
Biometric data can be affected by variations such as lighting conditions, facial expressions, and even physical transformations due to factors like aging or wearing glasses. AI can learn from new data and adapt to these environmental changes making biometric recognition more accurate over time.
4. Optimizing Operational Cost
AI automation streamlines human operator tasks such as enrollment, verification, and monitoring needed for making access decisions. As organizations expand and security needs become more complex, AI-powered systems can scale up to manage larger volumes of data.
Suprema is the Pioneer of Biometric Access Control
Suprema has been a leading provider of biometric access control for over two decades since the company launched in 2000. Empowered by a vast database and field data of biometric authentication know-how accumulated for 23 years, Suprema boasts unparalleled authentication capabilities optimized for biometric access control. Suprema’s specialized preprocessing and post-processing skills of biometric template data increase authentication accuracy.
In 2022, Suprema adopted highly advanced AI processor, NPU, to enhance the authentication performance of AI algorithm even more. As a result, Suprema BioStation 3 offers high accuracy in biometric authentication performance and effective anti-spoofing measures for detecting fake face or fingerprint, images, and photos. Suprema’s AI algorithm uses dynamic face templates to increase matching performance for people of any ethnicity and faces wearing masks, glasses, hats, beards, niqabs, various hairstyles, etc. Also, it is not only highly accurate but also fast, so it takes within 0.2 seconds to authenticate moving faces which offers great convenience in high-traffic areas.
Suprema’s biometric authentication is highly convenient and secure, because unlike physical keys, RFID cards and PIN, it is impossible for biometric data to be lost, forgotten or stolen. Also, it completely removes the cost, labor and environmental impact of issuing physical RFID cards. Suprema’s biometric authentication is widely used for access control to ensure that only authorized personnel are permitted entry to restricted areas. Some high-security sites such as data center could require combination of two or more different kinds of biometric credentials to ensure only authorized personnel can enter. Suprema offers the largest variety of MFA(Multi-factor Authentication) credentials in the entire industry, being compatible with facial authentication, fingerprint recognition, RFID card, PIN, mobile access, QR code and barcode credentials.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) serves as the fundamental cornerstone underpinning Suprema's innovative biometric access control technology. As Suprema persistently channels its investments into AI-driven security solutions, its dominance in the industry will remain unrivaled.
