Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX), an industry leader in
fabless display driver ICs and other semiconductors, today
announced that the Company will exhibit its industry-leading
ultralow power contactless palm vein authentication technology,
WiseEye Vein, at ISC West 2024, the leading trade show and
conference for the security industry in the U.S., from April 10 –
12, 2024 in Las Vegas. WiseEye Vein revolutionizes next-generation
access control with its exceptionally low power consumption, making
it possible for palm vein authentication to be applied in
battery-powered endpoint devices.
WiseEye Vein is powered by Himax WiseEye AI
solution featuring WiseEye2, Himax's second-generation AI
processor, NIR CMOS image sensor, and proprietary AI inference
model for palm vein authentication. The seamless integration of
sensor, AI processor, and authentication algorithm ensures swift
response times, registering in less than 100 milliseconds, along
with ultralow power consumption, in mere milliwatts, making it an
ideal choice for highly secure liveness checks in door security,
login authentication, and other battery-powered access control
applications. Meanwhile, WiseEye Vein offers exceptional accuracy
compared to other biometric methods, due to the unique and
intricate pattern of veins in the palm. Its contactless and
non-intrusive nature enhances security by mitigating the risk of
duplication or spoofing while also prioritizing infection control
and cleanliness, particularly important in today’s health-conscious
environment. Collaborations with key customers specializing in
access control are ongoing with verification and partnership
projects underway.
Himax WiseEye2 AI processor offers significant
advancements, boasting a 50 times improvement in energy use per
inference and 40% better peak power efficiency compared to its
predecessor, WiseEye1, which has already garnered widespread
adoption in various AI applications. Additionally, WiseEye2
incorporates industrial-grade security and cryptography engines and
has attained the esteemed PSA ("Platform Security Architecture")
Level 2 certification, further ensuring data security in today's
digital transmission landscape. Leveraging these cutting-edge
functionalities, WiseEye AI not only enables battery-powered
endpoint AI, but is well positioned as the standout solution for
such applications.
During the event, Himax will spotlight the
capabilities of the WiseEye platform through live demonstrations
and reference designs developed alongside ecosystem partners such
as Arm and Seeed Studio. Attendees will have the opportunity to
experience cutting-edge endpoint AI applications empowered by Himax
WiseEye AI, deployed in various battery-powered applications
including surveillance, smart home automation, smart city
infrastructure, advanced access control systems, and AI-enhanced
laptop functionalities. Among the showcased innovations will be
palm vein authentication for smart door locks, smart doorbells with
integrated lock functionality, ultralow power AI body skeleton and
facial mesh analysis solutions, among others.
Moreover, Himax will showcase a new line of
production-ready WiseEye Modules. These modules, comprising Himax's
ultralow power CMOS image sensor, WiseEye1 or WiseEye2 AI
processor, and in-house DNN models, offer an integrated computer
vision hardware and software platform. Designed to simplify AI
development, WiseEye Modules feature a compact form factor,
universal interface, and an effortless plug-and-play user
experience with outstanding no-code/low-code AI, providing AI
vision capabilities like digit recognition, people counting and
object detection. The adoption of the WiseEye Module is expanding
across a wide array of applications, ranging from smart parking,
fleet management, occupancy sensing, and pet tracking among
others.
“We are thrilled to once again be at the
forefront of innovation by unveiling WiseEye Vein, our latest in
biometric authentication technology, and numerous AI platforms at
ISC West,” said Mr. Mark Chen, Vice President of Smart Sensing
business at Himax. “We believe that our advancements will
significantly impact the security industry and open up new
possibilities for AI applications across a vast array of diverse
use cases,” concluded Mr. Chen.
