Product Introduction

Overview

AMT-FAR-10 is a high-performance dual-lens face image-capturing reader that supports both Visible Light and Near-Infrared Light images. This reader is equipped with an optical camera with a wide dynamic imaging sensor, a megapixel lens, and infrared-light LEDs.

The model is also equipped with a high-performance processor with a frequency of 400MHz, capable of capturing high-quality visible and near-infrared face images. It supports USB interface communication and external power supply in one single cable. This fully enclosed face reader can be easily plugged into a USB-supported host device to work without extra hardware integration. AMT- FAR-10 utilizes the Infrared light imaging sensor to capture grayscale face images for the face recognition process by integrating with AMT FaceLite SDK, and the visible light camera captures the true color face image for display and another relevant process. Combined with AMT FaceLite SDK, the captured face grayscale image and true color image are utilized for liveness detection and anti-spoofing protection process. AMT FaceLite SDK well fits to integrate facial recognition features into business applications.

For price-sensitive customers, the module and AMT FaceLite SDK together provide a cost-effective biometric authentication solution. The solution can be applied to a wide range of applications such as time attendance, access control, entrance management, payment kiosks, intercoms, and turnstiles which are running on Windows PCs, Android tablets, Linux-based devices, and other hardware platforms.

Features

• Supports Visible Light and Near-Infrared face image acquisition.
• Built-in wide dynamic image sensor suitable for various lighting conditions.
• Works with AMT FaceLite SDK to perform liveness detection and anti-spoofing process with grayscale face images and true color face images.
• Supports integration with third-party applications on Windows, Android, or Linux operating systems via AMT FaceLite SDK.
• Compatible with USB 2.0 specifications.
• Low power consumption with operating power less than 2W.
• Supports wide field of view which is adaptable to varieties of individual heights.
• Compact, lightweight size with USB 2.0 interface which simplifies integration with various hardware devices.
• Provide hygienic and non-invasive touchless identification solution which makes it stress-free for public use.

Algorithm Specifications

AMT FaceLite 12.0 is an excellent near-infrared face recognition algorithm based on the indoor face recognition algorithm which is adaptable to various lighting conditions and meets the requirement of large user volume recognition cases. To ensure a very low False Rejection Rate (FRR), the algorithm focuses on improving the adaptability to the deployed environment and user experience, thereby achieving the robustness and high-pass rate of face recognition. The SDK libraries assist in enhancing the security requirements through facial recognition which protects against spoofing attacks and is widely used in various business applications, including attendance, security, video surveillance, and more. Face recognition specifications are presented in the following table.

< 200 ms

Biometric Comparison Speed| < 100 ms
Face Capacity| 6,000
Posture Adaptability| Yaw ≤ 25°, Pitch ≤ 25°, Roll ≤ 25°
Precision| TAR=98.6% when FAR=0.001%

Note:
The algorithm performance is tested based on a proprietary image data set with an image size of 480W x 640H pixels and on a quad-core Cortex-A9 @1.5 GHz processor platform.

Application Scenarios

The AMT-FAM-10 module is optimized on its physical structure for the purpose of built-in design and integration, facilitating easy and fast integration into third-party hardware devices. Kept the integration thought into design, the module can be built into a host device using a single USB cable which provides both the power supply and data communication, this approach simplifies the integration development work considerably.

With AMT FaceLite SDK, you only need to write a few lines of code to call the SDK interfaces to achieve face recognition in your application. It speeds the development work and improves productivity. The integration solution can be applied to various business applications such as time attendance, access control, entrance management, payment kiosks, intercom units, turnstiles, PCs, tablets, and more.

Installation Guide

Vertical Mount Approach
When the plane where the lens is located (or the lens plane) is perpendicular to the horizontal direction, the recommended installation height is 1.55 meters or 61 inches, and the recognition distance is within 0.4 meters- 0.8 meters or 16 inches – 32 inches. This installation is suitable for the individual’s height within 1.47 meters – 1.82 meters or 57 inches – 72 inches, as shown below.

Figure 6.1 Schematic diagram of the installation height of 1.55 meters

Tilting Mount Approach
The recommended installation height is 1.2 meters, the tilt angle is 37 degrees (which is the same angle between the lens plane and the vertical direction), and the recognition distance is within 0.4 meter to 0.8 meter or 16 inches – 32 inches. This can adapt to the height range of 1.5 meters – 2.2 meters or 59 inches – 87 inches, as shown below.

Figure 6.2 Schematic diagram of the installation height of 1.2 meters

Recommended Installation Height and Mounting Angle

• As shown in the table below, the listed mounting angle is the angle between the center axis of the lens and the horizontal ground (that is, the angle between the plane above the module lens and the vertical direction).
• The installation height is the distance from the module to the ground.

Facial Expressions and Standing Posture

During the enrollment and matching process, please keep natural facial expressions and proper standing postures. Incorrect facial expressions and standing postures may cause recognition failure. The guide of natural facial expressions and proper standing postures are illustrated in Figures 7.1 and 7.2, respectively.
