Retinal Biometric Technology

The retina – the most imposter proof and accurate biometric.
The human retinal vasculature is safely protected from intentional or accidental tampering. Stable from birth to death, the retinal vasculature disappears within seconds of the cessation of life, thereby insuring that the captured image was obtained from a living user.

Retica offers the most accurate biometric identification technology available today. The Retica system successfully exploits the full potential of the unique vessel pattern found at the posterior of the eye into a four-phase solution that captures, collects, stores and identifies retinal biometric information:

CAPTURE.
By uniquely combining specialized aspheric optics, the physiologic optics of the eye and advances in LED and CCD technology, the Retica system is able to capture accurate images of the Subject’s eye biometric pattern at distances up to 1 meter.

COLLECT.
The digitized output from the imaging device is then analyzed using Retica’s proprietary and patented software protocol. The Retica system can be configured for portable or fixed applications and is insensitive to all environmental perturbations including ambient light, thus making it ideal for the majority of biometric applications.

STORE.
The Subject’s enrolled biometric patterns are stored in a proprietary database of abstracted digital images. With minimal data required, information may be ideally stored in a mobile application, central server, or over the Web by a multitude of devices, as well as physically on an ID card using a 2-D barcode.

IDENTIFY.
Retica’s specialized architecture facilitates for fast, accurate 1:1 or 1:N data retrieval and matching.

Features and Benefits of
the Retica System

Highest cross over-accuracy:
1 : 10,000,000

Uncompromised medical privacy: Captures a simple binary representation of the vasculature, with no medical information gleaned.

Ease of use with rapid auto-capture: Effortlessly acquires the Subject’s biometric pattern through Retica’s proprietary pattern recognition software.

Non-invasive and non-contact with the Human Eye: Conveniently positions camera device, 1cm to 1m away from the user.

Safe, LED illumination: No lasers or bright lights. The imager light source is a low brightness, near infrared light emitting diode. Highly accurate, small data set: Delivers a highly discriminatory biometric with only a 20-50 byte template required.

Accommodates 1:1 and 1:N matching: Provides an easily configurable Retica database because the data template of the vessel pattern is so compact.

Fixed or Mobile Applications: Offers optional hand-held units with wireless applications for systems requiring a distributed capability.

Adaptable Card ID: Optional biometric imprint, physical ID card using a 2-D barcode
