HID U.ARE.U

Description

The HID U.ARE.U Face Module is an edge device that delivers top-performing face recognition for identification and verification use cases.

Collaborating with Paravision, a leader in trusted Vision AI, our facial recognition system is trained using an extensive, ethically sourced dataset across a wide number of racial and age characteristics to reduce matching bias. Paravision’s matching algorithm consistently excels in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Facial Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) — earning the highest rankings for performance and accuracy.

With distinctive AI-enhanced multispectral imaging (MSI) technology and advanced presentation attack detection (PAD), the U.ARE.U Face Module operates with accuracy and reliability even in challenging lighting conditions, while preventing fraud attempts in unattended use cases.

The camera performs capture, matching, identification, verification and liveness detection at the edge. This on-device biometric processing feature reduces bandwidth constraints, improves performance and enhances privacy — delivering a superior user experience.
