Uniclox will be exhibiting at Securex - South Africa's premier security trade show - from 31 August to 2 September at the Sandton Conference Centre (Stand C2). Uniclox will demonstrate a range of advanced biometric terminals and products, including face and hand geometry scanners as well as the latest fingerprint and RFID readers.
Emerging Biometric Technologies
Newer biometric technologies using diverse physiological and behavioural characteristics are in various stages of development. Some are commercially available now but flawed, some may emerge over the next decade while others are many years from implementation. Each technique's performance can vary widely, depending on how it is used and its environment in which it is used.
...detects heat patterns created by the branching of blood vessels and emitted from the skin. These patterns, called thermograms, are highly distinctive - even identical twins have different thermograms. Thermography works much like facial recognition except that an infrared camera is used to capture the images making these systems particularly expensive.
...is a type of biometric in the sense that it uses a physiological characteristic for personal identification. It is considered to be the "ultimate" biometric technology in that it can produce proven identification of a person. However the system is not infallible: it cannot differentiate between identical twins and can cause errors in organ recipients or after a blood transfusion. Potential fraud can still occur during the drawing of the DNA sample, or during processing. DNA's use for identification is currently limited to forensic applications as - despite what you see on CSI - results can take many weeks.
...combines technologies from several fields including, computer vision (CV), pattern recognition, statistical interference, and optics. The fact that the retina is small, internal, and difficult to measure makes capturing its image more difficult than most biometric technologies. An individual must position the eye very close to the lens of the retina-scan device, and remain perfectly still while focusing on a revolving light. Although the technology is well developed, enrollment can easily take several minutes making it unsuitable for high volume applications like Time & Attendance.
...systems can be used to verify a person's claimed identity or to identify a particular person. It is often used where voice is the only available biometric identifier, such as over the telephone. The downside to the technology is that, although advances have been made in recognizing the human voice, ambient temperature, stress, disease, medications, and other physical changes can negatively impact automated recognition. It is there unsuitable for applications like Time & Attendance.
