Iris ID Systems has released a new AADHAAR Biometric Capture Device Software for its IrisAccess iCAM TD100 system being used in the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) project.
The company, previously known as LG Electronics, Iris Technology Division, says IrisAccess iCAMTD100 is a portable multimodal face/iris image capturing, USB-enabled device that is suitable for bundling with mobile jump-kits used at the ID project’s registration offices and sites. Fully automatic dual iris image capture and quality analysis routines are available as a part of the SDK API set for the field application of the iCAMTD100 from the Iris ID website.
According to the company, iris and face capture are performed by the operator extending their arm from the face capture distance to the iris capture distance from 30 inches to 15 inches. The iris and face capture API function is included in the SDK. The integrated display’s framing function provides feedback for the capture of properly formatted ISO/ICAO face and iris images.
“We are proud to be part of the AADHAAR UIDAI programme,” says Charles Koo, president and CEO, Iris ID Systems. “UIDAI was created by a mandate to provide biometric-enabled unique identity to all Indian residents. Since this will involve capturing iris, face and fingerprint of about 1.2 billion people, UIDAI released an Automated Biometric Identification Subsystem (ABIS) Interface and required all the participating ABIS Providers to implement an interface conforming to this specification. Iris ID software standardises the biometric capture process as per the AADHAAR ABIS Interface enabling the use of iCAM TD100 iris/face camera as an UIDAI AADHAAR Biometric Capture Device.”
According to the company, Iris ID AADHAAR Biometric Capture Device Software will enable systems integrators to capture ICAO/ISO compliant iris and face images. Once a person’s iris images are acquired the templates can be generated to enrol the subject for future identity authentication solutions.
