Proud to be working with eu-LISA
Mobai (together with Steinbeis Transfer Centre BISE) have been awarded a contract with European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA) to generate representative artificial data for fingerprints (FP) and facial images (FI), and the provisioning of biometric data quality requirements for the curation of test datasets. eu-LISA has started the implementation of the European Entry-Exit Systems’ biometric components. During its use, the European Entry-Exit System will capture and verify biometric data of travellers to the Schengen area at all border crossing points as well as by visa and law enforcement authorities.
The Steinbeis Network is dedicated to the transfer of academic findings and knowledge into applications. Steinbeis Transfer Centre BISE is focused on biometrics under the directorship of Prof. Dr. Christoph Busch at Hochschule Darmstadt.
Mobai AS is a spin-off company from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) commercializing technology developed at the Norwegian Biometrics laboratory. In this contract Mobai collaborates with experts from NTNU […]
Now on NIST FRVT as a top contender
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, part of U.S. Department of Commerce) conducts large scale testing of face recognition software in their Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT). One of the core tests is the FRVT 1:1 Verification, where algorithms are evaluated on multiple large-scale datasets in how good they perform on 1:1 facial verification.
What is 1:1 verification? It is the scenario where a person claims to be a certain individual, such as the owner of a specific passport or a specific user requesting access to a system with facial biometrics. The system then performs the 1:1 facial verification by capturing a new face sample and compares it against the reference face sample stored in the passport document or in the system. For example, the automatic border gate compares the new image against the facial image from your passport, or your phone compares a new selfie against the stored data when you unlock it.
In NIST FRVT 1:1 the evaluation is conducted on a large series […]
