Introduction to the EF-45 Iris Recognition System The EF-45 iris recognition system offers highly intuitive, hands-free iris biometrics imaging in a compact and elegantly designed identification and authentication terminal for use in a wide range of identity management applications. The front facing nominal 5.0inch LCD serves to display the user’s face image for fast, easy and highly natural positioning for proper iris image capture.

Key Features Intuitive LCD face display positioning for fast, simple and natural iris user experience—similar • to face display facial recognition systems. Contactless iris imaging at range of 35 to 45 cm stand-off in normal mode, and 30 to 45 in •...

User Interface for Iris Image Capture 1) Position yourself facing straight at the LCD display. When the device detects your movement within 1.0meter range, it initiates the image capture sequence. A rectangular-shaped user guide box will appear on the screen. If it is BLUE, it means you are too far from the device.
Page 8
On-board Demonstration Application The on-board demonstration application shows the full capabilities of the EF-45 for image capture including subject positioning with the face display user interface, enrollment, and on-board matching (authentication). The system boots up in this demo application. It is initated by the video based motion detector that first finds the subject from about 1 meter distance, and then continues the natural iris image capture sequence for capture in recognition / authentication mode.

The following main User screen appears: This user screen also allows simple database management. By tapping the Delete icon in the bottom right, one can easily delete information of enrolled users. To enroll a new user, press the Enroll icon to bring up Enroll User screen. Press the plus (+) button in the bottom left to capture image of the new user.

An instruction screen will appear for 3 to 5 seconds, and then switch to the user interface. (The timing of this display can be changed in Settings.) After successfully capturing iris images, click on √OK to accept images. The system then returns to Enroll User screen.
