CyberExtruder

CyberExtruder approaches the problem of matching faces from a vastly different perspective –3 dimensions (3D). The approach is unique enough to be granted patents and acknowledged by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as providing increased results over conventional (2D) matching efforts. If you are investigating facial recognition technology as the means to solve an identity management problem, we encourage you to dig in and get to know us. It’s easy to say you’re the best, the fastest, the most accurate or the industry leader, but it’s another thing to be able to prove it by solving your customer’s challenges and delivering ROI. CyberExtruder has earned its reputation for having the best technology and utilizing a state-of-the-art Ai facial recognition algorithm and being highly responsive to client needs and delivered on time and within budget. Whether you’re an OEM Partner, a Solutions Integrator or an End User, we have the facial recognition software solutions to meet the challenge.

<p><span>CyberExtruder’s patented technology can create 3D images using one or more 2D images with deep convolutional network technology. In 2019, the company partnered with video surveillance specialist Hanwha Techwin. The partnership integrates CyberExtruder’s Aureus 3D solution into Hanwha Techwin’s IP video camera platform. The product is already deployed in a range of verticals spanning banks, airports, casinos, universities, and city surveillance in several South American countries, including Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.</span></p>

    Founded in Spain, FacePhi offers a wide range of facial recognition identity authentication solutions for transaction approval and digital onboarding. FacePhi&rsquo;s Selphi software allows the user to conduct ID authentication by using a selfie. The selfie is encrypted and sent to the bank&rsquo;s database to be used in payee authentication. The encryptions ensure the user's privacy as the full image is not sent to the bank. The company&rsquo;s revenue increased by around 143% during the first half of 2020 (compared to the same period in 2019) on account of agreements with 10 new clients, compared to 13 new customers during 2019 (full year), indicating the growth potential of the company.

    Okaya offers a mobile app that aims to understand users&rsquo; wellbeing by using a combination of facial recognition technology, biometrics analysis (such as heart rate, weight, etc.), and machine learning. Okaya&rsquo;s facial recognition algorithm, developed in-house, analyses facial features obtained from a 15-second video recording where up to 30 frames are captured in a second. This data is evaluated along with other biometrics to determine a person&rsquo;s level of fatigue. The product claims to help create strong work teams and a robust work environment allowing the identification of areas where improvement is required.

    Facetec offers a 3D face authentication software called ZoOm capable of high-performance liveness detection (verification of whether facial features captured are from a living subject). The software can work on smart mobile devices and webcams. The company also has patented technology to generate a 3D face map using a video selfie recorded even with a 2D camera. In September 2019, Facetec improved its product by embedding an age-estimation tool. Even though selfie-based authentication has become commonplace, many of them uses 2D facial mapping which makes it are vulnerable to spoofing attacks (trying to obtain access illegitimately by reproducing a person's face using images, masks, mannequins etc.) due to use of 2D mapping of facial features. FaceTec's technology is superior to others as it allows to create a 3D map of the face even with a normal 2D camera. While most other 3D face mapping requires designated hardware components, FaceTec's technology eliminates this requirement. Hence, it does not require app developers to rely on device manufacturers to incorporate additional hardware to use ZoOm. The company claims its product is one of the few companies to be certified in level 1 and 2 in iBeta Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) testing directed by an ISO standard. The software can detect digital and physical 'spoof artifacts' such as high-resolution photos and videos, masks and mannequins. FaceTec has over 100 customers across various verticals with an installed base of over 10 billion smart devices. ZoOm targets a wide range of markets ranging from banking, e-commerce, healthcare, insurance, e-voting, attendance, and government. Majority of FaceTec's customers are currently government and financial institutions.
