We have seen different ways for using security measures in identity verification for some companies and surely this new development of using face detection is bound to be the next step towards ensuring reliable security management solutions via handheld devices. MaxID presents the integration of Animetrics face recognition into the iDLMax, a handheld identity management device. The iDLMax is the first commercially-available mobile computing device to incorporate Animetric’s superior 2D-to-3D face biometric technology.

The iDLMax’s camera and light source provides the mobile face camera for Animetrics thin-client application, Animetrics90 MobileID, which communicates seamlessly with Animetrics server based FIMS (Facial Identity Management System.) FIMS analyzes the camera images in realtime and is able to provide the face biometric applications including verification (1 to 1 matching) and watchlist look up (1 to many search).

The Animetrics patent pending 2D-to-3D face recognition technology provides important face biometric advantages such as pose and lighting correction enabling the iDLMax for practical real world conditions where other face biometric technologies have failed.

Animetrics integrated the A90 MobileID application into the iDLMax, a multi-modal, rugged mobile computer that offers a complete set of features for virtually any identity management challenge including contact card, contactless card, barcode, optical fingerprint, and optional magnetic swipe and MRZ readers with a digital camera, GPS, and comprehensive wireless communications. The iDLMax is a complete, integrated mobile solution for all badging and identity management requirements.

When users need to read fingerprints and now faces, TWIC, CAC, PIV, or FRAC cards, or driver’s licenses, as well as use the other on-board biometric functions to verify identity, the iDLMax connected handheld device does it all in a light, compact, easy-to-use form factor.

Never lose track of a friend or a family member with the new face tracking technology brought to us by Fotonation. FotoNation, which specializes in digital imaging connectivity software, has launched ‘Face Tracker’, the world’s first face detection and tracking technology for Camera Phones.

FotoNation FaceTracker was made possible through advances in digital image capture technology. The system detects the presence of a person’s face, and its position at up to 30 frames per second while an image is captured, enabling exposure, focus and color balance to be set at optimal levels.

When news of the Hikaru came out some days ago, this was actually the code name for the latest powerhouse multimedia phone by Sony Ericsson. Today that codename has been decoded and given the proper model name in the Sony Ericsson W995. This new phone aims to combine cyber-shot technology with the Walkman and become one of the high-end handsets for the company.

“With Media Go™ there’s no need to worry about format, resolution and ‘frame per second’ anymore.” said Alexandre Cardon, Global Marketing Business Manager at Sony Ericsson. “No longer will the video you transferred from your PC to your phone play in low resolution or bad quality. With Media Go™ and the W995 the experience is as good on your phone as it was on your PC.”

“The W995 Walkman™ phone brings together the very best music experiences of any phone, augments this with best in class video and sharing capabilities to offer the most complete communication entertainment package to date.” said Alexandre Cardon. “This powerful mobile phone delivers the best possible video resolution that can fit in your pocket and with enough battery stamina to watch two full length feature films. The W995 also comes complete with the award winning clear audio experience and an 8.1 megapixel camera for the highest quality picture and sound available in a mobile phone.”

This promises to be a fantastic addition to Sony Ericsson’s portfolio. An 8 megapixel camera, Clear Audio experience, 2.6-inch screen and Wi-Fi in one package makes this phone truly awesome. The phone will ship during Q2 this year in the colours Cosmic Silver, Energetic Red, and Progressive Black.
