Advent of contactless biometrics technologies

Advent of contactless biometrics technologies
Online
July 6, 12:30 PM

Biometrics has proven to be a very powerful technology to identify or authenticate users. The development of biometrics is also leveraging new progress in the field of biometric sensors, computing power and artificial intelligence. Beyond the reinforcement of security, user experience has become another key topics to enable the usage of biometrics in a larger number of use cases. Recent progress include the usage of fingerprint, face or iris on smartphone for consumer applications.

Contactless biometrics technologies contribute to improving the user experience and the maturity of existing solutions is such that they are already used in different application fields such as forensics, border control, passenger facilitation or access control. During this webinar we will show how contactless technologies improve the user experience without compromising the security and discuss the challenges and limitations. We will also present different uses cases where they have proved their efficiency in particular using fingerprint and face with a special focus on the performance of contact versus contactless fingerprints and their interoperability.

Attendance is free of charge but registration is required. Registered participants will receive dial-in credentials in the morning of the event.
