Image Recognition
This latest system is much the same tech as the facial recognition we use on our mobile phones. Continental has developed the new system with partner Trinamix and its proprietary technology, Trinamix Face Authentication. The reflection of each dot is captured by an infrared camera and the image data analysed by software algorithms. From the beam’s profile, the algorithms can gather information about the surface material of the object (in this case, the driver’s face) it’s measuring. The Trinamix system already meets the security requirements for making payments with Android phones.
