Managing parking space is a challenge for every organization, especially in cities where space is limited. A smart Parking Management Solution helps optimize parking lot operations by facilitating the efficient use of unoccupied spaces.
In addition to reducing time and fuel, these systems can help reduce traffic congestion and pollution. These solutions also increase profitability, which can lead to happier customers and improved operational efficiency.
Facial Recognition
Facial recognition is a type of biometric software that can identify and confirm a person’s identity by looking at their face. It is used in thousands of security cameras, access control applications, and unwanted person detection use cases. With the recent Covid-19 scare, in-store retailers have been forced to make some significant changes to their health and safety policies and store processes. These include mandatory mask-wearing, hand sanitizing, and temperature checks. In addition, retail staff have needed to adapt their workdays to meet Covid-19 mandates. This means implementing new policies for clocking-in/out, using POS terminals and shared surfaces, and handling cash. Fortunately, there are facial recognition solutions that meet all of these needs. These include face recognition check-in kiosks, thermal scanners, contactless temperature measurement devices, and more.
Fingerprint
A biometric fingerprint reader can provide a reliable and secure authentication mechanism for access control. Capacitive readers use an array of pixels to read tiny variations in electric charge in a fingerprint’s ridges. Fingerprint recognition has a reputation for reliability, and with good reason. It’s the most popular biometric security technology used in physical access control, and it’s proven to be effective across a variety of environments. In the car, for example, biometrics can be used to ensure passengers arrive on time and in the right condition for their journey. They can also track driver attendance, preventing fatigue and ensuring drivers are awake and alert behind the wheel.
In an indoor environment, like an airport car park, a vehicle looking for a parking slot faces a unique challenge. This is because the lack of a global positioning system (GPS) makes it difficult to map locations. Moreover, it is challenging to handle traffic congestion in an efficient manner, since vehicles need to communicate with each other so as to find a free space.
Palm
Palm recognition is a biometric authentication method that uses the pattern of veins in a person’s hand to verify identity. It is an alternative to fingerprints and is more secure, private, accurate, reliable and sanitary than most other biometrics.
Unlike fingerprints and facial recognition, palm patterns are difficult to spoof. They’re also more stable over time. To recognize a palm print, a scanner or camera is used to capture an image of the palm and then compared to a database of fingerprints or other records for that individual. The scanning hardware captures the surface-area details like lines and ridges, as well as subcutaneous features such as vein patterns. A variety of algorithms are used for palm print feature extraction, and a few are specifically designed for vein recognition. Various fusion strategies are used to combine the matching scores produced by these modalities and improve the accuracy of the system.
Iris
Iris recognition is a biometric that utilizes a photo of an individual’s eye to verify identity. The technique is similar to facial recognition and fingerprint identification, but iris recognition systems detect about five times more features than those used in fingerprint systems.In addition, iris scanning technology is less prone to false positives than other modalities, and the system does not suffer from the same presentation attacks that affect contact-dependent modalities. Additionally, the human iris is stable over time. However, iris scanning raises significant civil liberties and privacy concerns, particularly in the case of law enforcement and the criminal justice community. This is largely because the iris can be scanned from a distance or on the move, and there is no guarantee that an individual has consented to have their iris used as a biometric.
