Transform user convenience, safety and security with world-leading biometric solutions

Paravision and HID Global are joining forces to provide enterprise grade biometric identity and security solutions in retail, banking, access control, and travel and aviation. The strategic partnership of the two industry leaders brings together HID’s long history of trusted identity solutions with Paravision’s world leading face recognition algorithms, providing a uniquely positioned combination for strong identity.

Our differentiators

Top NIST Ranking

Paravision’s facial recognition algorithms consistently rank among the top global performers in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Face Recognition Vendor Tests (FRVT), including 1:1 Verification, 1:N Identification, Face Mask Effects, and Paperless Travel.

Advanced Presentation Attack Detection

The combination of HID Global’s patented Multispectral Imaging (MSI) technology with Paravision’s advanced presentation attack detection algorithm enables an industry leading facial recognition solution that meets the ISO30107-1 standard and enables prevention against a wide range of spoofs and presentation attacks from paper printouts to high-definition videos to advanced 3D masks made of paper, resin, or latex.

High Performance in Challenging Lighting

HID’s advanced 2D/3D camera technology incorporates multispectral imaging spanning the visible and near infrared spectrum coupled with active structured light illumination to provide strong user authentication and presentation attack detection in challenging lighting conditions. Our multi-modal camera overcomes many harsh lighting conditions spanning total darkness to direct sunlight coupled with strong backlit and gradient conditions, which have traditionally challenged use of facial recognition in real-world deployments.

Face Mask Detection

Paravision and HID’s solutions are uniquely positioned to correctly identify users wearing a mask, glasses, or both, enabling valuable use cases in environments where users regularly wear face coverings. This is not only helpful during a pandemic, but in sterile or hazardous environments where users regularly wear face protection

Strong Security and Privacy

All HID Global’s biometric solutions are designed using Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDL) methodology to ensure they can be securely integrated into customer infrastructure. The SSDL process also gives developers insight into potential security gaps and threats before they occur. In addition, all Paravision and HID’s facial recognition technology is developed using Privacy by Design and fully compliant with today’s privacy regulations such as GDPR.

Ethical Use of AI

Paravision’s industry-leading AI and machine learning algorithms are built, trained, and sold under the guidance of its published AI principles, which stipulate that its AI systems must be ethically trained and conscientiously sold. Paravision’s technology is heavily benchmarked to ensure accuracy across demographic groups.

Facial Recognition With a Modular Solution Approach

Whether you are looking for a complete end-to-end facial recognition solution or à la carte offerings – like camera hardware, biometric servers or mobile SDKs – our modular approach ensures good options for your budgets and requirements and enables fast realization of value.

Combining HID’s patented Multispectral Imaging (MSI) technology with Paravision’s highly accurate AI and machine learning algorithms, the HID® U.ARE.U® camera system enables best-in-class facial recognition, identification and verification, with industry-leading passive liveness security and superior presentation attack detection in challenging lighting, from bright sunlight to limited or no light conditions.

Designed with speed, accuracy and security in mind, the HID® ArcID™ Biometric Server is based on Paravision’s highly scalable face recognition engines and supports full facial recognition functionality — including the ability to enroll and manage facial biometric records, perform facial 1:1 verification and 1:N identification, and import and export records to and from secure endpoints. The HID ArcID Biometric Server is highly scalable and can be hosted either on-premise or in a cloud instance.

The HID ArcID Device Manager is a software application that provides a user-friendly interface to manage the provisioning, software updates and security of distributed camera hardware. It effectively and remotely monitors all camera hardware status on all sites and can easily export information to create reports.

Innovative technology alone does not guarantee a successful business outcome. Value-added services are needed to ensure that multiple technologies seamlessly work together to achieve desired results. HID’s Biometrics Professional Services plays a key role in accelerating the solution’s value for your business providing the technical expertise from strategic consulting and solution design to implementation, customized training and ongoing maintenance and support.

Use Cases:

Use Cases:

Retail

Facial recognition helps retailers deliver consistent, seamless and safe experiences for their customers and employees and allow maximizing operational efficiency, complying with regulatory restrictions, and guarding against internal fraud.

Banking

Banking and financial institutions are using facial recognition to bring customers a safer and more seamless experience at every touchpoint: at the branches, at the ATM’s or mobile apps.

Air Travel and Aviation

Face recognition has a vast potential for the aviation industry in delivering a safe, secure and seamless air travel experience, from curb to destination and beyond.

Healthcare

Healthcare providers are using facial recognition as a simple, secure and compliant tool to improve patient safety and workflow efficiency, allowing hospitals and health practitioners to quickly identify patients and staff, even with masks and other protective gear, with contactless, sterile proof-of-presence.
