Vilnius, Lithuania, February 2, 2006. Neurotechnologija Ltd., a leading
provider of core biometric algorithms, announced today that its
VeriLook facial recognition engine was chosen by Lenovo, a global
leader in the Personal Computer industry to develop a software suite
for PC user authentication.
Using the current and integrated hardware such as a web camera or
camera on PC, it's easy and convenient to deploy facial recognition
technology cost-effectively.
Lenovo is the number one PC company in China and one of the top three
PC companies in the world after it has acquired the IBM's Personal
Computing Division in early 2005. Lenovo has long been interested in
biometric technologies as a dimension for its product innovation. The
cooperation with Neurotechnologija on a facial recognition technology
is one of its innovation drives in using biometrics. The technology
will be applied to Lenovo's (Tianyi/Xuri/Zhaoyang) notebooks in China.
Ming Zhiming, the project manager of Lenovo R&D, commented, "We are
happy with the Neurotechnogija's VeriLook algorithm as it is highly
applicable to our PC and can satisfy our user needs. Our strategy has
been to add more values to our products and help our customers to be
more competitive in the market, that's why we are so interested in
adopting biometric technologies."
Dr. Algimantas Malickas, Director and CEO of the Neurotechnologija,
said, "We believe it's just a beginning that our good performance
products are to be adopted by more and more PC producers. And loading
on to the PC platform, our technologies will approach hundreds and
thousands of users, bring them more security and convenience. We are
very happy to work with Lenovo on this in China."
Lenovo will soon release the software suite based on VeriLook algorithm
and install on their high end models of laptop which has camera as
standard hardware configuration. It will be a strong push to the
promotion and popularization of the facial recognition technology.
About Neurotechnologija
Neurotechnologija was founded in 1990 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The main
area of company's activity is biometrical person identification
algorithms and software development. In 1991 the first fingerprint
identification system was developed. Since that time Neurotechnologija
has released more than 30 products and version upgrades for biometrics
and law enforcement. Neurotechnologija's fingerprint identification
algorithm has participated in several competitions (FVC2000, FVC2002,
FVC2004, FpVTE 2003, NIST Fingerprint SDK Testing) and shown one of the
best results there.
The main products of Neurotechnologija are intended for security
companies which are going to integrate fingerprint and face
identification technology into their own products. Currently more than
800 security system integrators (including a number of basic
fingerprint sensors providers) are using company products in more than
60 countries.
The technologies of Neurotechnologija are useful and effective in many
security applications such as person identification or verification,
access control, computer security, banking, time attendance control,
law enforcement applications, etc.
