Since the development of biometric technology in China in the early 1990s, it has already begun to take shape in the past 20 years, and due to its huge social benefits and user needs, it has attracted widespread attention from the domestic security industry. In the global market, according to the latest research by the market research institution Pira Internat-ional, the biometric recognition market is booming, and the market size has increased by 12% in the past seven years and is expected to reach 7.5 billion euros by 2014. So what kind of scene is China's biometric recognition market?
Technology lags behind foreign countries to master core technology is the key to success or failure China's fingerprint recognition research began in the 1980s and mastered the core technology, development is basically synchronized with foreign countries, and for biometric authentication technology such as face recognition, iris recognition, palm shape recognition, etc. The research started after 1996 and lags behind foreign countries. There are three main reasons for the gap between domestic and foreign countries: First, the foreign research team has strong technical force and is engaged in scientific research personnel far higher than the domestic level; Second, foreign technology has developed for many years, has formed a certain scale of industrialization, the customer market has been nurtured Mature, the market demand has already appeared; Third, the foreign government attaches great importance to the government support efforts.
Industry stakeholders said that for biometrics-related companies to achieve better development, they need to work hard from the following aspects: 1. Improve their own technical level and increase research and development efforts; 2. Increase publicity and promotion efforts to increase market demand. 3, seize their own characteristics and characteristics, do a good job of product service, serve the market, achievements in the market. At the same time, only by mastering the core technologies, there is an advantage in the main technical part of the product, or the technical monopoly pattern of foreign products can be broken in order to achieve greater development.
The stable development of the market Face recognition has gradually become hot In recent years, the Chinese biometric market has entered a stage of steady development, showing a good development status and potential. In 2010, the sales volume of China's biometrics market was about 1.5 million units, and sales were about 2.5 billion yuan, an increase of about 30% over the previous year. In 2011, under the influence of the new round of global economic weakness, sales of biometric products in the domestic market in the first half of the year, especially the export sector, were significantly affected. According to the survey data of some export-oriented manufacturers, exports in the first half of the year fell by 4 to 60% from the previous month, but after June, there were clear signs of a rebound. In the full year, the growth rate could still reach 15% or more.
Looking at the development of biometric identification technology both at home and abroad in the past two years, it can be seen that following the most widely used fingerprint recognition, face recognition technology is being widely viewed by the market because of its natural, non-contact, and practical application. In 2011, social security systems in many regions of China have adopted face recognition technology to standardize the qualifications of people; airport security and other important sites have begun to invest in the large-scale application of face recognition technology; face recognition embedded access control system market Also gradually mature; face recognition has gradually become a hot spot in the current market.
Attendance Application Scale The first access control market is developing rapidly In the application of biometric technology in the Chinese market, attendance systems and equipment are the first to enter the scale of production and sales. The good cost performance, convenience, and ease of use of the fingerprint attendance system are the main reasons for its successful promotion. At present, while the cost of fingerprint attendance products is declining, the product form is becoming more and more abundant, which has a great competitive advantage compared with traditional attendance equipment and systems. At present, the sales volume of fingerprint attendance products in the Chinese market accounts for more than 40% of the total sales of biometric identification products, ranking the top spot.
In addition, the rapid growth in the application of face recognition attendance systems has also added new impetus to the expansion of the entire time and attendance application. “Let 1.3 billion faces come to life, and now is the era of face attendance.†This is a phrase spoken by Xu Dongjian, senior vice president of Hanwang Technology Co., Ltd. It is understood that since the appearance of the Hanwang face recognition attendance machine, not only has the market scale of more than 10 million users been formed in China, but also the products have been exported to over 50 countries in Europe and the United States, and have been applied in depth to the military, banks, prisons, schools, etc. Airport, customs and other important areas. As Shi Jian, head of Hanwang Technology's Human Face Division, put it, face recognition attendance will certainly become the industry trend.
At the same time, with the specialization and standardization of the features, interfaces, and other details of biometric products, as well as the involvement of new technologies such as face recognition, the characteristics of biometric products, such as high security and anti-theft protection, are being increasingly used. Customers agree that the scale of application of access control has been greatly improved and has now become the second largest application in the domestic biometric identification market.
Multiple compound biometrics technology has been increasingly emphasized in the foreign biometrics market. Medium to large biometric systems such as fingerprints, biometric passport systems, and social security systems account for the vast majority of biometric applications, while domestic biometrics The application of technology mainly focuses on the application of small products such as access control and attendance. In the future, the widespread application of domestic biometric technologies in large-scale systems will impose higher requirements on domestic biometric identification products. Therefore, dual and even multiple compound biometric identification technologies are increasingly being used by people. Pay attention.
The use of multiple biometric integrated identification technology can achieve better recognition performance and reliability than a single biometric identification system, and increase the difficulty of forging human biometric features and improve the security of the entire system. It is understood that there are two methods for multiple biometric identification. The first is that the system can access two different biometric products; the other is to integrate two different biometric technologies into the same product. The second method is not simple integration. Instead, the two different identification technologies are managed together using a fusion algorithm, so that the computational efficiency and accuracy are improved geometrically, and it is easier to carry and install. This method will be future biometrics. Integrate the mainstream of the product.
The application of various identification technologies in China is well known. Biometrics mainly include fingerprint recognition, face recognition, hand shape recognition, finger vein recognition, iris recognition, retina recognition, signature recognition, voice recognition, etc., and is subdivided into each category. What is their application in our country?
Fingerprint Identification: Precisely Positioning the Civil Market Currently, in China, fingerprint recognition has developed for a long period of time and has developed rapidly. After many years of marketing and application, it has become more mature in access control, attendance, safe, and identity authentication. Products, at the same time, because their cost is lower than other identification technologies, they are more easily promoted and accepted by users. Therefore, the application of fingerprint identification currently accounts for about 90% of the market share of biometric applications.
Fingerprint recognition is more widely used in small and medium-sized enterprises such as access control, attendance, and authentication, locker locks, computer mobile phone authentication, and other civilian markets where security requirements are low, and it is increasingly recognized as people pay more attention to personal life and property security and privacy. Wide range of applications. Fingerprint identification technology is combined with more product areas and it has gained importance in the mid-to-high end residential market. At present, the high-grade residential areas and real estate have attached more and more importance to their own safety. The application of intercom products integrated into fingerprint recognition in a small number of villa areas, high-end real estate and other places is constantly receiving attention.
Face recognition: The field of application continues to expand Biometrics technology has grown at an average annual rate of 20% to 30% in recent years. Among them, face recognition technology has increased by as much as 80%, and the current domestic market share has reached more than 80 million yuan. . According to the annual growth rate of 80%, the market share of China's face recognition technology will reach several billion yuan in the next few years.
As the most popular biometric technology in recent years, its application has gradually begun to mature. At present, face recognition is mainly divided into active identification and passive identification. Active identification is generally applied to routine access control, assessment and other occasions. Passive face recognition has unique advantages in customs, traffic inspection and other occasions.
With the development of projects in Ping An City and Ping An Community in China, the urbanization of HD has been further developed and popularized. The number of cameras in the city has increased greatly, making face recognition pass through multiple cameras on face collection, avoiding the side Face and back problems increase the quality of face recognition. At the same time, the public security system has an urgent need for functions such as city surveillance, fugitive pursuing, blacklisting, etc. Face recognition technology will be applied in the judicial system.
At the same time, the huge potential government market started. It is understood that in 2011, in order to ensure the safety of social insurance funds and to prevent and eliminate fraudulently leading and underprivileged pensions, some social security systems in China adopted the “face dynamic identification authentication system†in order to strengthen Retired people's authentication and management. Hubei, Gansu, Hunan and other provinces have successively established retired employee facial information databases and confirmed pilot areas and units of the “face dynamic identification authentication system†to expand new market space and development areas for face recognition products.
Faced with a huge market development situation, the new generation of access control products that embed face recognition products in access control systems is maturing with the previous years. In order to seek the intelligent development of the access control system and catch up with the rapid development of the access control market, companies that have the core algorithms for face recognition technology are ready to go and seek explosive development. In 2008, Hanwang Technology Co., Ltd. launched the "Hanwang Face Communication" and the world's first embedded "binocular breakable" face recognition machine for companies that need to use offline access control and attendance management. product. At the same time, many of the access control companies are also using the "human face" to open the blue ocean for the access control market.
Hand shape recognition: The best supplement of the fingerprint market is due to the problem of fingerprint recognition, which makes fingerprint recognition unsuitable for applications in places with large collection bases. At the same time, a large number of employees work at the same time for attendance and biometric identification. The ease of operation and speed of certification raises high challenges. For the construction site and large-scale factory attendance, palm shape recognition has more obvious advantages in the application of these sites due to its small template, easy use, strong adaptability to the environment, and high general recognition rate.
Compared with other biometrics, although the palm shape recognition has no obvious advantages in the authentication speed, its operation is very convenient. It is only necessary to put the palm of your hand on the collector. In addition, because the biometric technology extracts personal signs, there is a possibility that the individual privacy is leaked or even stolen. The HandReader ultimately stores three-dimensional features, and is a digital template obtained after analysis. It is just a series of meaningless numbers for other people.
However, the shape of the palm is the same as that of the human face. Fatening of the fingers or major injuries can cause difficulties in the recognition of the palm. Because of the variability of the individual's palm shape, hand shape recognition should not be used when the application frequency is too low, such as once in six months or once in a year.
Finger vein recognition: a new milestone in biometrics As the main biometric technology, finger vein recognition using the biological features of an individual’s body is technically mature. The finger vein has the advantages of non-contact, internal body feature collection, living body identification, and faster identification speed.
At present, in the domestic market, the price of finger vein identification products is higher than that of fingerprint products. Therefore, the main applications of access control products are still concentrated in departments with higher security requirements such as finance, data centers, and justice. In addition to the commonly used access control, computer login and other purposes, you can also use the finger vein recognition to achieve the elevator specified floor call, attendance, personal identity authentication, kindergarten safe transfer and other purposes.
In the next few years, the demand for high-end biometric identification technology in the domestic market will increase. At present, no one has questioned finger vein identification technology, and the focus is still on the development of the application market.
Iris recognition: low cost and low application The current domestic market for iris recognition is still in the incubation period. Iris recognition products have fewer types, higher prices, less sales, and large-scale production and applications have not yet begun, mainly Panasonic, LG and Chinese Academy of Sciences automated Research institutes and other companies and institutions are developing products. In addition, there are many universities in the country, such as Zhejiang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and others engaged in iris recognition technology research.
The main difficulty of iris recognition promotion is that, apart from being immature in technology, the high cost is also an important factor. Because domestic manufacturers have relatively few mastering core technologies, most manufacturers can only purchase foreign products and pay high royalties. At the same time, the requirements for camera and light source collection are very high in terms of hardware, which increases manufacturing costs.
Therefore, these characteristics of iris recognition determine that the market and prospects for biometric identification in China rely mainly on government procurement and promotion. However, at present, the relevant government departments have not paid attention to it and lacked relevant policy guidance. It is understood that the current iris technology has been applied in state-owned large-scale coal mines and military-critical departments.
Conclusion With the development and promotion of biometrics technology, everything in the future will become safer and easier for people with biometrics. However, the current industry of biometric identification is still far from adequate compared to other products. This requires the majority of biometric manufacturers to jointly explore and expand the market. It is believed that with the government’s increasing emphasis on the integration of social information resources and giving the biometric industry more attention. With strong support, the Chinese biometric market will grow indefinitely in the future.
Technology lags behind foreign countries to master core technology is the key to success or failure China's fingerprint recognition research began in the 1980s and mastered the core technology, development is basically synchronized with foreign countries, and for biometric authentication technology such as face recognition, iris recognition, palm shape recognition, etc. The research started after 1996 and lags behind foreign countries.
