Iris Biometrics Pioneer AOptix Technologies Recognized With Frost &
Sullivan Best Practices Award for Technology Innovation
Analyst Sees Breakthroughs in Usability and Human Factors Design
Through Adaptive Optics Approach
CAMPBELL, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 13, 2008 --
AOptix Technologies, Inc. (www.aoptix.com),
a leading edge developer of advanced biometric iris recognition systems,
has been awarded the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology
Innovation in the field of non-invasive biometrics. “Improvements
in security require far superior and convenient biometric recognition.
Through its innovative concept, AOptix Technologies has introduced the
ability to automatically find and then accurately identify a subject’s
iris within seconds at a 2 meter stand-off distance,”
explained Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Deepa Rangarajan.
Conventional iris imagers require subjects to accurately position their
eyes by moving into close proximity to the iris image capturing device.
This is often difficult, especially for new users of iris biometrics.
The AOptix adaptive optics technology overcomes this drawback, allowing
for very easy, almost effortless subject participation. The system fully
automates the process of finding the subject’s
eye and capturing properly focused and centered images on all subjects.
The subject merely needs to step into a very large capture zone of
nearly 1 cubic meter, and simply look at the imager.
“The AOptix iris imager fundamentally changes
the human factors and usability paradigm for iris recognition, which is
considered by many experts to offer the greatest potential for large
scale, high accuracy biometric identification,”
stated Phil Tusa, VP, Biometric Programs at AOptix. “For
the first time, the limitations of subject acceptance with conventional
systems are overcome, which should permit wide deployment of iris
recognition in many emerging applications worldwide.”
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has
carried out new research, which has resulted in innovations that have or
are expected to bring significant contributions to the industry in terms
of adoption, change, and competitive posture. The award recognizes the
quality and depth of a company’s research and
development program as well as the vision and risk-taking that enabled
it to undertake such an endeavor, according to Frost & Sullivan. For
