Pioneering Biometrics & 3D Scanning Solutions
At the core of IDloop’s mission is excellence in research and development.
In addition to product development and production, IDloop provides expert biometric consulting services focused on developing certification and standardizations, as well as metrics and testing methodologies.
The company has numerous active projects investigating diverse optical solutions for a variety of industry applications. Among others, IDloop works with Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik: BSI) on biometric and security related service projects. These projects, in conjunction with company-based research and development, characterize IDloop as a company that pushes the boundaries of optical advancement.
Projects
NIST Validator (NIVal)
The NIST Validator (NIVal) project is a software project where IDloop develops a software solution where National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) files, in particular European Entry-Exit System files (EES) and VIS databases, can be generated, and both syntactically and semantically, validated. The resulting software has GUI and CLI interfaces and only open-source components are used in development. NIVal can be used as both a standalone and as an easily integrated solution.
Development of a novel stereoscopic recording technology for the contactless recording of nail-to-nail fingerprints of the human hand (StereoScan)
The project involves the development of a fingerprint scanner for the contactless recording of rolled fingerprints. While retaining the installation space, the fingerprint data will be available according to the FBI standard ABTS with Appendix F.
Convenient, advanced, secure and touchless fingerprint scanning for identification purposes (CAST project)
As part of the EIC project ‘cast’, a product for contactless fingerprint capture using optical 3D technology is to be brought to market maturity. The technology is designed to capture the microscopic ridge and valley structure of the human finger in full 3D, enabling clear differentiation between the ridges and valleys of the fingerprint while ensuring interoperability with contact-based fingerprint scanners that only scan the ridges in 2D.
This interoperability enables access to the government biometrics market, where compatibility with existing databases is a must.
Quality and Testing Metrics (Qualitäts- und Prüfmetriken: QuaPik)
The QuaPik (Qualitäts- und Prüfmetriken) project consists of four interwoven subprojects. Project one is a development of a test methodology for rolled fingerprints, project two is the development and construction of an automated device for capturing fingerprints, project three is a development of a test methodology for contactless fingerprint capturing while project four is a development of a test methodology for 2D/3D camera systems.
The work lays a scientific and application-oriented foundation for future testing strategies of biometric devices such as contact-based fingerprint scanners, smartphones, 3D contactless fingerprint scanners, e-gates and kiosk solutions for face recognition.
