Unique biometric system

The identification system for quick identification of a large number of people develop scientists from the Technical University of Lodz. Just go through the gate, and the device recognizes the iris of the eye us, the shape of the face, ear, and skin texture. 

- We are building a system of identification, through which someone who he wants to be her subject and have expressed their consent - emphasizes the study's author, Dr. Ing. Kamil Grabowski. Together with a group of engineers from the Technical University of Lodz working on the "positive biometric authentication system." For the implementation of its scientific project received more than 1 million 190 thousand. gold from the National Research and Development Centre (NRDC) in the fourth edition of the Leader.

According to the researchers, the person who is to be identified, it passes through a special gate and the system of cameras located at the gateway performs a set of photographs. On this basis you can identify this person .

Of course, in the world there are already systems to identify , for example, based on the iris of the eye , but they allow you to go through the gate to one person at a time. Through this verification procedure takes a long time .

- Goal must be overcome in a quiet pace, looking straight ahead - he described the PAP . Such goals are already installed at some airports . - If you have a biometric passport and wants to go faster clearance , can benefit from such a goal. This greatly speeds up the authentication process - explains.

The solution they are working scientists from the Technical University is a pioneer , because he has to provide a lot more bandwidth . Developed by the system to allow them to pass through the gate a few people at a time . In addition, the identification is not based on only one biometric feature , but on the basis of several such features : facial image , iris , ear image , the image regions of the eye , which is the skin texture and the eyebrows and eyelashes.

- The system can be used, for example in large companies or institutions whose employees entering the building they want to quickly go through the identification. Our system will allow them - described by Grabowski . - We can install eg at the entrances to the stadium. Then the people who have such a club card , pass through such a dedicated gateway that enables accelerated identification. Other people go the normal mode .

He explained that many years ago, biometrics and identification based on iris were " hot topic " . - We have developed a system to identify so based on the iris of the eye, and then we expanded our knowledge towards multibiometrii , or even the use of other biometric features . We tried to catch up with what's going on in the world . After several years of chasing now we are building a system that really is unique - said Grabowski .

The most important element of the system will be broad goal , of arranged thereon cameras recording the image. Not collected by the data will be analyzed computer which recognizes the passing person. The support system will always be too involved operator . It was he who respond , if the system for various reasons not be able to cope .

Grabowski admitted that we do not know how the system will work when the gateway will pass more people.

- This part of the research work that must be performed . Initially , we estimate that there may be three or four people at the same time - he explained.

Funded by the NRDC project will last three years.

- At this time we do demonstrator , who will be able to present to the investor - said the scientist . The technology can be implemented for mass production , because such systems are used to control access to mass events .

The scientists have already conducted several discussions about the implementation of the system, but a barrier has always been the need to invest in research.

- Industry is interested in this , but it is an expensive technology , and it is difficult to predict the effect of such work. This is one of the most difficult disciplines - explained .
