Biometric authentication

Authentication mode can be applied to authenticate user to identify or verify user. Available authentication modes are,

  1. Identification

    The identification is the default authentication mode. Identification is performed on biometric and user id data as mentioned below. In identification mode if the verify on unknown setting has enabled, the client will be asked to verify user by giving second biometric/user id capture.

    1. Biometric data

      User biometric data such as face, fingerprint and iris are comparing against the database with previously collected biometric samples depending on the Recognition threshold setting. If the matching score is greater than the Recognition threshold setting value, the user is considered as identified. Therefore, this mode may demand a large processing time.

    2. Visitor pass

      Visitor pass is a unique identification for the visitor can be used with the appointment. The pass can be used as visitor pass id, barcode, and RFID.

  2. Verification

    The verification mode can be applied with a user id peripheral and a biometric peripheral to verify the user against the previously collected biometric sample as shown in Figure 139 . To get verified, the matching score should be greater than the Verification threshold setting. The verification as two options

    1. ID first

      This is the default option. When this is enabled, the client will ask for the visitor pass first and biometric data second. Once the visitor verified, the client will record the event.

    2. Biometric first

      The client will ask for the biometric data first and User id data second. Once the visitor verified, the client will record the event.

  3. None

    When biometric mode is None, the client will use user id data to record the visitor events.

Biometric settings

Face liveness mode for client application

Liveness can be used to differentiate live faces from non-live faces to prevent buddy punching. Face liveness mode is None by default. When this is enabled, user will be asked to follow set of instructions. If the user follows the instruction correctly, event will be recorded. Available options are:

  1. Passive

    In this mode, the user should hold his head still for a few seconds.

    _images/image594.PNG

    Figure 285 Android Standard client in passive liveness mode

  2. Active

    In this mode, the user should follow the commands on the screen by moving his head or blinking eyes.

    _images/image596.PNG

    Figure 286 Windows Standard client in active liveness mode

    _images/image598.PNG

    Figure 287 Android Standard client in active liveness mode

  3. Passive and active

    Both passive and active mode above is combined for better face recognition result.

  4. Simple

    In this mode, the user should follow the commands on the screen and turn face time to time. It is a simplified version of Active liveness recognition.

    _images/image600.PNG

    _images/image606.PNG

    Figure 291 Android Standard client in custom liveness mode

  6. None

    In this mode, the face liveness check is not performed.

Face liveness threshold for client application

The value which controls the requirements for client-side face liveness. The greater this value is the stricter rules are applied when deciding if the face is live. The default face liveness threshold value is 50.

Server-side face liveness checking

Enable this setting to differentiate live faces from non-live faces. Unlike client-side face liveness, here the server will detect the liveness of the captured face.

Server face liveness confidence threshold

The value which controls the requirements for server-side face liveness. The greater this value is the stricter rules are applied when deciding if the face is live. The default face liveness threshold value is 50.

Recognition threshold

Increase the value if same user identified differently time to time during identification. Note that good image quality is required for higher recognition accuracy during face identification. The default recognition threshold value is 48.

Verification threshold

Increase the value if higher verification accuracy is required. Note that good image quality is required for higher accuracy during face verification. The default verification threshold value is 36.

Enrollment threshold

Start with a higher enrollment accuracy if the system is intended to be used with a larger crowd. Default enrollment threshold value is 48.

Face confidence

Use higher face confidence for event image if good image quality is available. The default face confidence value is 40.

Face quality

Increase the value if the same user identified differently from time to time. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality face images. The default face quality value is 40. Face quality will be 0, if the “Mask detection” setting is set to detect or required.

Mask detection

Neurotechnology Biometric algorithms can recognize faces even the person wearing a mask. In an environment where most people wear face masks (e. g.: Hospitals) this setting will easily identify employees. To enable this feature, check the checkbox “Detect faces with mask” under Face Quality setting.

Note

By enabling this setting, face quality threshold is set to 0 and you cannot change it without disabling mask mode.

The following settings are available for mask detection.

  1. Disable

    Select this option to identify face without face mask.

  2. Detect

    Select this option to identify face with face mask. The detection will be indicated in the clients as follows.

    Mask detection score < Mask detection threshold

    _images/image610.PNG
    _images/image611.PNG
  3. Required

    To record the event successfully, user must wear a mask. If the mask detection score is greater than the “Mask detection threshold”, attendance will be recorded successfully. The detection will be indicated in the clients as below.

Mask detection threshold

Decrease the value, if a user face with a face mask is not identified as mentioned in “Mask detection” settings. Make sure that you have selected the “Detect face mask” setting under the “Face quality” setting in biometric setting.

Maximum face yaw

The maximum angle of the face needs to be captured by the client. Maximum face yaw can be 0- 90 degrees.

Fingerprint quality

Increase the value if the same user identified differently from time to time. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality finger scans. The default fingerprint quality value is 40.

Iris quality

Increase the value if the same user identified differently from time to time. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality iris scans. The default fingerprint quality value is 50.

Face confidence for enrollment

Use higher face confidence for enrolling image if good image quality is available. The default face confidence value is 30.

Face quality for Enrollment

Increase the value if the enrolling face image duplicates with enrolled face image of another user. By increasing this value, the system is forced to ignore low quality face images. The default value is 48.

Finger quality for Enrollment

Increase the value if the enrolling finger image duplicated with enrolled finger image of another user. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality finger scans. The default fingerprint quality value is 40.

Iris quality for Enrollment

Increase the value if the enrolling itris image duplicates with the iris image of another user. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality iris scans. The default fingerprint quality value is 50.

High-speed face detection

High speed face detection when the face biometric is used. This setting has been disabled by default.

Disable duplicate checking

Enable this setting to enroll same biometric image for different users.
