News and insight into biometric identification and authentication

Optimum releases best practices in biometrics performance monitoring

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Developed at first as master’s thesis through UCLA, Optimum Biometric Labs, a developer of biometric systems monitoring solutions, has released a report titled “Best Practices in Biometrics Performance Monitoring Programs.”

The document primarily deals with standards, methods, processes, frameworks and tools that can be leveraged to obtain data to detect, diagnose, report and recover issues and further assess the reliability, availability, maintainability and performance of biometric systems.


In addition to the release of their report, Optimum is hoping to create a new category of biometric products the company calls Biometric Performance Monitoring tools.

Optimum has developed off-the-shelf software, called BioUptime, to perform such monitoring. In conjunction with both the push for the new product category and the report release, Optimum is offering on-site courses on biometric performance monitoring. [end] 

Vision-Box, a biometrics solutions provider, has come out with an automatic border control e-gate that supports multimodal biometric authentication.

This new e-gate is a thin system that contains vb i-match, a single sourced design that is modular and flexible and can be adapted to business requirements and infrastructure constraints that would otherwise disrupt passenger flow. It has the ability to cope with industry standards such as ICAO. The e-gate supports iris, fingerprint and facial biometrics.
