Recently, the latest publication of the United States "Journal of the National Academy of Sciences" published a related paper, said that in a complex system, such as the human genome contains 20,000 linked genes, it is possible to monitor the entire system at one time . The key point in the use of this is the biotechnology system. With the advancement of science and technology, biometrics as an important security application is widely used in various security fields. The rapid development can not be separated from the follow-up of the market and the promotion of industry demand.

Biometrics technology mainly refers to a technology that uses human biometrics for identity authentication. Biometrics here are usually unique (different from others), can be measured or can be automatically identified and verified, heritable or lifelong. The core of the so-called biometrics is how to obtain these biometrics, convert them into digital information, store them in computers, and use reliable matching algorithms to complete the process of verifying and identifying individuals.

Biometrics World Market Application Distribution According to the latest authoritative report from the International Biometrics Group (IBG), in the current biometrics industry, North America has the highest share of 33.5%; in the Asia Pacific region it is 23.8%; Europe, the Middle East and India, Central and South America , Africa followed by 16.5%, 11.0%, 9.1% and 6.1%.

1. United States The United States is the world's leading biometric identification market, with a scale of about one billion US dollars. In addition to commercial use, the government is also the largest user of biometric technology. After the "9.11" incident, 115 airports and 14 major ports in the United States established the "US Visitor and Immigration Identity Display Technology" system, which can perform fingerprint identification, iris recognition, facial image scanning, and palm print recognition. While 27 visa-free countries’ citizens must travel to the United States, they must hold biometric passports. In order to strengthen security protection, the Department of Homeland Security has invested US$10 billion in a large-scale US visit (US-VISIT) program to conduct research on biometric systems. The program has the function of collecting and storing biometric data and provides data analysis for decision makers. Currently, about 30,000 authorized users of federal, state and local governments check the data of US-VISIT every day.

2. The governments of European and European countries have achieved rapid growth in the biometric technology market in Europe in recent years through strict safety standards and special regulations. In 2010, the market size exceeded 600 million euros. In addition to the implementation of a series of standards developed by industry organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and BioAPI (BioAPI), the European countries are popularizing biometric passports, national identity card programs, and second-generation Schengen information systems. Actively promote the development of biometric technology industry. Frost & Sullivan's research shows that the current key growth areas in the European market include Non-AFIS, AFIS, Facial Recognition, Scanning Eyes (Iris and Retina), Hand Shape, Sound Verification and Signature verification, etc.

3. India At present, India's biometric technology market is still in its infancy. The major domestic biometric solutions providers include Bartronics, BioenableTech, Jaypeetex and Fusion biometrics. The main biometrics system integrators include Zicom, Datamatics, and Johnson Controls. The high recognition of biometric technology by the Indian government and private companies has promoted the rapid development of the market. India's biometric recognition market is still focused on fingerprint technology, and it is expected to make breakthroughs in iris recognition technology in the future. In addition, in order to solve the problem that identity is being used to impede the development of the country, the Indian government plans to establish a national identity database for 1.2 billion people nationwide starting from September 2010, setting a precedent for the first biometric identification system in the world.

4. China's biometric industry, especially in the area of ​​fingerprint identification, has entered a period of mature development. In 2009, the scale of the domestic market was approximately RMB 1.9 billion, and technology, products, and applications are increasingly popular. According to the article “Development and Status Quo of Biometrics Technology”, the distribution of China's biometric industry segmentation market in 2009 was: commercial applications accounted for 84.9%, mainly used for access control, attendance, and identity authentication; and public and social security applications accounted for 4.8%. It is mainly used for immigration management and licensing systems, and public security management; public project applications account for 4.5%, mainly for social security, medical and educational applications; consumer applications account for 4.3%, mainly used for fingerprint identification door locks, cabinet locks, Computer mobile phone boot certification; judicial applications accounted for 1.5%, mainly for automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) and automatic face recognition system (criminal detection purposes). Compared with most foreign applications, major projects in the government and public service sectors are used. Over 90% of the domestic market is used by small-scale commercial departments. There is still huge room for development in the future. On the other hand, the current domestic market is relatively single and concentrated in Fingerprint recognition technology will be promising in areas such as facial recognition and iris recognition.

The full range of applications for biometrics worthy of expectation 1, the new trend of visa application Biometrics technology mainly refers to a technology for identity authentication through human biometrics, where the biometrics are usually unique (different from others), can be measured or can be automatically Features such as identification and verification, hereditary or life-long change, including fingerprint recognition, vein recognition, iris recognition, retina recognition, face recognition, and DNA identification. Among them, fingerprint recognition, vein recognition, iris recognition, facial recognition are widely used in security applications. According to the latest news, in order to respond to the needs of the development of the situation, China will apply biological identification technology to introduce bio-visa at the appropriate time. The application of biotechnology in the field of visa not only improves the quality and level of visa issuance, but also enhances the anti-counterfeiting performance of visas. According to relevant industry sources, while ensuring the safety of the country and the citizens, it is imperative to do a good job in guaranteeing the entry and exit of normal people, the visa carrier, and identifiable information.

Biometric visas are the new trend in the development of the current world visa technology. In particular, after the "9.11" incident, the United States, Britain, France, and other countries issued electronic passports with biometric information for their citizens, and began to apply for biometric visas to foreign citizens. This technology is being accepted by more and more people. The so-called biometric visa is the introduction of biometrics technology into the field of visas, and the use of human face, fingerprints and other biometric features unique, safe, confidential, etc., to collect and store biometric information data during visa issuance or entry-exit border inspection. Through effective comparison, the identity of immigration officers can be identified more accurately and quickly. At present, the relevant supporting laws and regulations have been under discussion and formulation, and related technologies and research and development work have begun to be prepared. China's biometric visa is worth the wait.

2. The “Punching” application market The “Punching” application is an iris recognition technology that uses biometric recognition. According to statistics, this technology has been applied in many fields such as mine safety production, prison prisoner management, and bank vault access control. As long as the eyes are aimed at the screen, the machine will record the iris feature code and complete the registration process. After the recognition process, the person with the eyes will no longer need to take off the glasses. Just point the screen one at a time, not more than one. In seconds, the machine completes the comparison recognition, and the identity information and "Punch" time are immediately displayed on the screen.

This iris recognition technology has been applied in the fields of coal mine worker attendance, prison prisoner management, bank vault access, border security clearance, military security system, and candidate verification. The iris recognition products independently researched and developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been registered and used by nearly one million users in more than 20 provinces and cities, completing billions of iris comparisons per day and occupying 70% of the domestic iris recognition market.

3, anti-theft applications to the development of high-end locks so far, has completed the evolution of mechanical locks to smart locks. Smart locks have become the trend of today's high-end locks with their convenience and security. Smart locks represented by fingerprint locks have gained widespread market acceptance. In recent years, with the emergence of new consumer concepts of intelligence, environmental protection, and energy saving, consumer demand for high-end lock products has become more and more prosperous, and products that do not truly meet the market demand in the high-end market have emerged. Today, a finger vein-based biometric identification technology has been recognized by the Ministry of Public Security as the most secure and reliable high-end biometric identification technology and will play a leading role in many areas.

Biometrics technology is increasingly becoming an applied technology in a wide range of industries and fields, and finger veins have perfected biometrics in the past and will lead the development of a new generation of identification technology. As the demand for high-end biometric identification technologies in the domestic market continues to increase, more knowledge-based companies will continue to develop in the area of ​​biometrics and contribute to the cause of social security.

4. There are reasons for the generation of fingerprint and finger vein recognition series in the biometric identification of the access control application. The four major characteristics are the development techniques for finger vein identification applications. These four application technology features lead indicators. Palm vein identification products go to the leading position of access control.

We examine each of these four biometric features one by one during the product test verification. First is the near-infrared sensing method, the identification is rapid, the distance from the test is within a few centimeters, and the rapid reaction of no contact finger vein registration and identification. The effects of environmental brightness are not indicative of the first fast-stable feature of biometric sensing technology; we have also seen the human nature of the biometric content of the finger vein in the entire user interface and facilitate the use of AllonScreen's The design allows all touch operations to be operated in a single window at a glance. It also has a language selection function that can be applied to various countries. This is the second convenience feature of biometric recognition; the third is the use of the entire palm vein identification. Make a thinking; design single, double, multi-person logins and card passwords for the backdoors and coercive use issues that the system may use. At the same time, multiple authentication and backdoor mechanisms are available, as well as the anti-stress features of left and right hands to log in heterogeneously. Use a third security feature that is more secure; the last fourth feature is a network Use of the demand to make the system even more easy on the combination of security and surveillance monitoring, but also through such features, more future telecommunications network integration features to become the fourth communications network interworking function at home or access management. These features seem simple, but only the hard work of manufacturers to develop the research process can make the rapid identification of vein biological recognition technology.

Conclusion:
