Iris recognition module from IriTech at a low price of $110

IriTech announced the IriShield iris recognition module based on the TMS320C6748 DSP from Texas Instruments at a low price of $110.

"Ranked no. 1 in accuracy and interoperability by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) IREX test, IriTech's cutting-edge algorithms are featured in the IriShield module to maximize its true positive identification rates while minimizing false positives," said Dr. Daniel Kim, CEO and president, IriTech Inc. "TI's C6748 DSP processes these sophisticated algorithms and ensures accurate identification in real time."

"TI's DSPs offer parallel processing of computationally intensive algorithms to enable real-time biometrics access control and identification systems," said Matt Kurtz, business manager, Singlecore DSP, TI. "In addition, our C6748 DSP offers a variety of integrated security features to safeguard proprietary algorithms and sensitive user data, giving both systems developers and users the ultimate in security."
