High tech meets design: screenless wristband enables communication and contactless payment with innovative biometrics
The IoT (Internet of Things) building blocks from Infineon Technologies AG are becoming ever more powerful, energy-efficient, and smaller. Today, practically any everyday object can be enriched with smart functions to make life easier. Using system solutions from Infineon, Deed ®, a deep tech start-up from Turin, Italy, has been able to create a screenless yet…
Infineon contributes to CardLab’s new Biometric Card Solution
In this new 'Digital Age', it has become increasingly important to remember passwords or where one has stored information that has concrete value. Individuals have lost millions because they have forgotten passwords or caused organisation great distress to recreate their identity. However, these problem can now be a relic of the past as CardLab introduces…
New mask-tolerant matching algorithm and age estimator boosts accuracy levels for Cognitec’s entire product suite
Highly focused and innovative R&D initiatives have again raised accuracy levels of Cognitec’s main matching algorithm and its age estimation technology. The latest versions are showing remarkably robust test results for facial images with masks. Advanced neural network training and a new face finder contributed to generally increase the robustness against significant facial occlusion caused,…
