TAINAN, Taiwan, Dec. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Himax Applied sciences (NASDAQ:), Inc. (Himax or Firm) (Nasdaq: HIMX), an {industry} chief in fabless show driver ICs and different semiconductors, in the present day introduced the Firm will introduce its expanded WiseEye™ PalmVein suite at CES 2025, that includes groundbreaking bimodal palm vein and face authentication applied sciences. This game-changing, contactless, ultralow energy bimodal biometric authentication is designed to reinforce each safety and consumer friendliness in good door locks. By leveraging a number of private biometric traits for authentication, the newly launched answer delivers unparalleled safety, seamless adaptability and a strong, user-friendly expertise, making certain authentication efficiency throughout varied situations and environments.
The Himax WiseEye PalmVein answer, a part of Himax WiseEye module enterprise, integrates the Himax WiseEye2 AI processor, an AoS CMOS sensor, and a confirmed palm vein authentication algorithm. Notably, the Himax PalmVein answer has been granted PSA Licensed Stage 2 safety certification, making certain it meets excessive safety requirements. That includes an ultralow energy, compact, plug-and-play design, it might authenticate a person’s id in below 100 milliseconds, marking a breakthrough in safety know-how for battery-powered good gadgets. Given that every particular person’s palm vein sample is as distinctive as DNA, even amongst an identical twins, it offers the next stage of safety in comparison with typical fingerprint or facial recognition. Moreover, it consumes only some milliwatts of energy, making it superb for battery-powered, on-device AI endpoint functions.
Himax WiseEye PalmVein affords superior accuracy and strong liveness detection, considerably decreasing id spoofing and fraud, with a FAR (False Acceptance Charge) of 1 in 1,000,000 and FRR (False Rejection Charge) beneath 1%. This ensures dependable efficiency no matter challenges reminiscent of age, fingerprint high quality, top, or lighting, which usually have an effect on different authentication strategies, reminiscent of imaginative and prescient and fingerprint-based programs. Moreover, PalmVein authentication affords a contactless, hygienic expertise that quickly verifies identification in below 100 milliseconds. Its industry-leading ultralow energy efficiency extends battery life to over 9 months on simply 8 AA batteries, even with common every day use in a typical family. Since its debut in early 2024, Himax’s WiseEye PalmVein know-how has shortly garnered important buyer curiosity and been adopted by a U.S. buyer for good entry management programs, with mass manufacturing underway.
Throughout CES, Himax will showcase a stay demo of the expanded WiseEye PalmVein suite with bimodal authentication, that includes palm vein and face authentication, meticulously designed to deal with buyer calls for for elevated flexibility in good door locks, no matter environmental situations. For instance, in extraordinarily chilly environments the place glove-wearing makes palm entry management unfeasible, the system seamlessly adapts by enabling face recognition together with keypad enter, streamlining a two-step authentication course of into steady, dependable, and enhanced safety. This breakthrough in flexibility and intuitiveness demonstrates Himax management in biometric authentication know-how, providing a flexible and safe answer for contemporary, battery-powered good door locks. Moreover, WiseEye Module’s versatile, plug-and-play traits simplify the combination of further private traits, unlocking the long run potential of multimodal authentication. This functionality affirms safety and consumer comfort, making certain seamless, versatile entry management throughout a variety of environments and functions.
A stay good door lock demo will spotlight how bimodal biometric authentication, that includes face and vein recognition, enhances safety and consumer comfort.
