Strengthened by its position as a leader in identity technology, IDEMIA once again imposed itself by placing first in the fairness test for the detection of false matches with its facial recognition technology, thus beating the 100 most accurate algorithms of the latest “Face Recognition Rendor Test“, set up by the “National Institute of Standards and Technology”. Its fairness score is then twice that of the twenty most accurate algorithms.

This ranking once again proves the group’s commitment to technological excellence when it comes to solutions based on artificial intelligence. It thus contributes to making the world more secure by developing cutting-edge identity technologies. The algorithm particularly stands out by combining fairness and performance, without neglecting either. The result of the competition ensures the group’s reliability in terms of facial recognition solutions, whether they serve the general public or the government.

Irrespective of the demographic group, the rate of false matches obtained by IDEMIA varies very little. These advances will make it possible to reduce discrimination and achieve a responsible and ethical use of AI. The group thus confirms its leading position in the field of biometrics, by remaining in the top 3 of the FRVT1:N classification in identification, thanks to its accuracy of 99.88% in rank 1, on data comprising 12 million faces. Its iris recognition technology, meanwhile, retains its top spot in the IREX 10 benchmark test.
In terms of fingerprint recognition, the group’s AFIS-class algorithm ranked first on almost all datasets for the PFT III benchmark test, which measures fingerprint comparison performance on proprietary templates .

On the three main biometric modalities, the competition is therefore ahead of the game. This is why Biotime Technology has chosen to offer you IDEMIA technology. If you want to know more, do not hesitate to contact us.

In June 2022, IDEMIA and one of its major partners, ARS Traffic & Transport Technology B.V., won a tender launched by the Public Prosecutor of the Netherlands. As a leader in biometric encryption, the French biometrics company was selected from a plethora of applicants. This is proof that once again, the know-how of the French company is no longer subject to debate.

In practice, the framework contract consists of the delivery of 750 control units in ten three-month batches. Note that the Netherlands required that this order be awarded to three suppliers, including IDEMIA.

For this contract, IDEMIA has chosen to highlight the compact MESTA device. In addition to delivering this high-tech security system, the French company will take care of its maintenance for six years, to be renewed once. In all, the Dutch public prosecutor will therefore be able to count on the support of the service provider for 12 years.

A leading agency at the service of road safety

Delivered at the beginning of 2023, the compact MESTA devices are specialized in traffic control. Combining video analysis and speed measurement, they reduce accidents and encourage users to respect the highway code. Impossible to lure these detectors when you run red lights.

Space-saving, the compact MESTA device can easily be camouflaged at an intersection or in a bush. Even in urban areas, it requires little space and blends into the environment.

For more than 50 years, the European firm’s MESTA range has helped make the roads safer. Leaders in road safety in Europe, the Middle East, America and Asia-Pacific, MESTA devices will meet the expectations of the Netherlands.
