Biometric Technology

Sensory’s proprietary speaker verification and face recognition solutions leverage Sensory’s deep strength in speech processing, computer vision, and machine learning. Users can leverage each solution to provide maximum security, while remaining fast, convenient and easy to use.

Biometrics aren’t just beneficial for their security—they’re also more convenient than other methods. Not all biometric solutions are created equal, and some have been known to accept false positives (a phenomenon called “spoofing”). Sensory’s novel approach utilizing passive face liveness, active voice liveness, or a combination of the two leverages a deep learning model that nearly eliminates spoofs from fraudsters using 3D masks, photos, video recordings, and more. This may be enabled without active participation (passive face liveness) from the user, so it ensures the ultimate in security, accuracy, and convenience.

Key Features

Biometrics refer to measurable physical and behavioral characteristics that can be used to verify a person’s identity. Biometric software may include face recognition technology, voice biometry, fingerprint scanning, retina scans, and other methodologies. Since such qualifiers are unique to individuals, face and voice biometrics solutions offer greater security than traditional security measures such as profiles, passwords or pass-phrases, PIN numbers, and personal information.

Solutions for Face or Voice Authentication

Voice Biometrics:
Voice biometrics offer secure authentication by analyzing unique vocal characteristics, making them effective even when the face is obscured. They excel in most environments but may struggle with background noise or poor acoustics. Developers can enhance accuracy by allowing users to enroll their voice with and without a mask, ensuring consistent recognition in various conditions.

Face Biometrics:
Face biometrics provide fast, secure user authentication by analyzing facial features, making them ideal for contactless verification. They perform well in most lighting conditions, but certain challenges, such as masks or low light, can impact accuracy. To address this, developers can implement features like “mask mode,” which allows for alternate verification methods when facial recognition is obstructed.

How it Works

Sensory’s embedded facial verification AI attempts to validate a person based on the matching of a facial image with a locally stored, and encrypted enrolled image – by either accepting or rejecting the identity claim (one-to-one matching). This model is most commonly used to grant access to a device as seen in mobile phones, tablets, and PCs. Contrary to popular belief, embedded biometric authentication systems don’t actually store complete images of human faces in a database. Rather, they translate the image to an encrypted code and will match the user’s face to this code on the next facial recognition attempt.

Voice verification uses a similar process. Voice biometrics require you to create a voiceprint for enrollment. This will be done either by repeating pass-phrases or by providing an extended sample of your speech to the microphone. Voice biometric solutions are typically used for security purposes, and some scenarios may combine voice biometrics with face recognition during the authentication process for enhanced security in industries like law enforcement or financial services.
