IDEMIA’s New Addition to the LASINK™ Family

In January of this year, Holography News® reported on the launch of LASINK™ Helios from secure identity services company IDEMIA. In their continuing efforts to protect the portrait on an ID document from fraud, the company has now added LASINK™ 3D to the family of technologies aimed at protecting the portrait from copying, tampering or manipulation.

Humans are equipped with powerful innate pattern recognition ‘hardwired’ into our visual processing system. You only have to look at someone’s face, whom you haven’t met for years, for a few seconds to recall their identity and trigger memories of your previous meetings.

Machines can also be taught to gather and assess facial patterns, assessing similarities and differences, which makes the portrait on a secure document a doubly important security feature from the perspective of both human and machine inspection.
