Symtron
Introduces Face Recognition Software "FaceOn
PC Suite" and "FaceOn Access Control"
at Taipei Trade Center |
Symtron Technology,
famous in its leading technology of face recognition,
will demonstrate face recognition software "FaceOn
PC Suite?" and "FaceOn Access Control?"
in Taipei Computex.
Developed in Taiwan, "FaceOn
PC Suite?" and "FaceOn Access Control?"
provide a safer and more convenient solution
for computer process and gate security. Symtron
Technology is the only supplier in Computex
that masters the technology of face recognition
and is capable of offering a total hardware
and software solution. It shows that the entry
barrier of face recognition is higher than other
recognition techniques and makes Symtron a big
player in biometrics recognition industry.
According to the statistics of
International Biometric Group (IBG), market
of global biometrics recognition reached 58
million US dollars, and 15% of the market goes
to face recognition field. The price slumps
of computer peripherals, such as PC camera and
fingerprint recognition device have been stimulating
biometrics market to grow radically. The market
is expected to expand to 590 million US dollars,
10 times bigger than now. Frost & Sullivan
also estimated that the market scale would reach
2.6 billion by 2006 only in the US market.
Among all the biometrics recognition
techniques, face recognition is the only one
that comply with multimedia infrastructures
of PC and intelligence appliance (IA), which
makes it possible for Symtron products to integrate
with gate securing system integrators, PC Camera
and PDA suppliers. The worse price slump in
PC camera than in fingerprint recognition device
provides face recognition more opportunities
to conquer the market. Therefore, compared with
other biometrics recognition participants in
Taipei Computex, Symtron will attract more attention.
It is a big year for Symtron. After
receiving "Best of Taiwan's Best Awards"
in COMDEX FALL, Symtron now is not only
incorporated in BioAPI system by I/O Software,
but also estimated to become the log in solution
provider for next version of Windows. Shin Kong
Hospital also adopted Symtron's "FaceOn
Access Control?," a doorway securing system
introduced this May combining the face recognition
technology with a magnetic card reader device.
In Taipei Computex, Symtron will
have dialogue with lots of international companies,
such as Leo System, AcerNet and Compaq, for
future cooperation possibilities. It is expected
that Symtron and Compaq will develop further
cooperative relationships in Taipei Computex
. By incorporating biometrics recognition technology
with major manufactures, Symtron will consolidate
its leading position in IA and PC field.
To encourage general public's participations
on the fifth day of Taipei Computex, Symtron
will deliberate a "Superstar Face Match"
game. The singer -Rain Li will be invited to
the booth and the 3D computer image of some
other guests will be shown onsite. After compared
with the guest's 3D image data, the one whose
similarity exceeding 70% will receive a special
gift. This game is to promote face-recognition
technology. By participating in the game, the
public will experience the real application
of face recognition and realize its convenience
in everyday life.
Dr. Alan Yeh, President of Symtron
Technology, indicated that face-recognition
technology is booming and diversifying due to
the wide application of PC camera and its characteristic
of "no need to touch users. "Face
recognition will become the most technological
application in wireless communication security,
on-line crime prevention, intelligent surveillance
and internet ID management in the coming 3 years,"
said Yeh, "Symtron will not miss this revolution
in security control and management."
