Authentication mode

Authentication mode can be applied to authenticate user to identify or verify user. Available authentication modes are,

1. Identification

   The identification is the default authentication mode. Identification is performed on biometric and user id data as mentioned below.

   1. Biometric data

      User biometric data such as face, fingerprint and iris are comparing against the database with previously collected biometric samples depending on the Recognition threshold . If the matching score is greater than the Recognition threshold value, user is considered as identified. Therefore, this mode may demand large processing time.

   2. User id data

      User id data such as user id, barcode and QR code are comparing against the database and giving the matching users.

2. Verification

   The verification mode can be applied with a user id peripheral and a biometric peripheral to verify the user against the previously collected biometric sample. To get verified, matching score should be greater than Verification threshold .

   

   Figure 169 Device management verification mode combination

3. None

   Attendances are not recording when the authentication mode is none.

Verification order

As mentioned in Authentication mode section, if the verification mode is selected, the verification order can be set as either the “id first” to enter the user id(employee code, barcode, RFID) first or the “Biometric first” to capture the biometric first.

External executables

System can be configured to run external programs (either from external executable or API) during user identification.

   	Indicator of Windows Standard client	Indicator of Android Standard client
   Mask detection score >= Mask detection threshold
   Mask detection score < Mask detection threshold

3. Required

   To record the event successfully, user must wear a mask. If the mask detection score is greater than the “Mask detection threshold”, attendance will be recorded successfully. The detection will be indicated in the clients as below

   Table 63 Indicators for Required mask detection option

   	Indicator of Windows Standard client	Indicator of Android Standard client
   Mask detection score >= Mask detection threshold
   Mask detection score < Mask detection threshold

Mask detection threshold

Decrease the value, if a user face with a face mask is not identified as mentioned in “Mask detection” settings. Make sure that you have selected the “Detect face mask” setting under the “Face quality” setting in biometric setting

Face liveness mode for client application

Liveness can be used to differentiate live faces from non-live faces to prevents buddy punching. Face liveness mode is None by default. When this is enable, user will be asked to follow set of instructions. If user follows the instruction correctly, event will be recorded. Available options are

1. Passive

   In this mode, the user should hold his head still for a few seconds.

   

   Figure 293 Android Standard client in passive liveness mode

2. Active

   In this mode, the user should follow the commands on the screen by moving his head or blinking eyes.

   

   Figure 294 Windows Standard client in active liveness mode

   

   Figure 295 Android Standard client in active liveness mode

3. Passive and active

   Both passive and active mode above is combined for better face recognition result.

4. Simple

   In this mode, the user should follow the commands on the screen and turn face time to time. It is simplified version of Active liveness recognition.

   

   Figure 296 Windows Standard client in simple liveness mode

   

   Figure 297 Android Standard client in simple liveness mode

5. Custom

   In this mode, it is required to turn head to four directions (up, down, left, right) in a random order (follow up points are same as Active mode).

   

   Figure 298 Windows Standard client in custom liveness mode

   

   Figure 299 Android Standard client in custom liveness mode

6. None

   In this mode, the face liveness check is not performed.

Refer Face capturing in Standard client section for more details about record attendances using liveness settings in NCheck Bio Attendance Standard clients.

Face liveness threshold for client application

The value which controls the requirements for client-side face liveness. The greater this value is the stricter rules are applied when deciding if the face is live. Default face liveness threshold value is 50.

Server-side face liveness checking

Enable this setting to differentiate live faces from non-live faces. Unlike client-side face liveness, here the server will detect the liveness of the captured face.

Server face liveness confidence threshold

The value which controls the requirements for server-side face liveness. The greater this value is the stricter rules are applied when deciding if the face is live. Default face liveness threshold value is 50.

Recognition threshold

Increase the value if same user identified differently time to time during identification. Note that good image quality is required for a higher recognition accuracy during face identification. Default recognition threshold value is 48.

Verification threshold

Increase the value if higher verification accuracy is required. Note that good image quality is required for a higher accuracy during face verification. Default verification threshold value is 36.

Enrollment threshold

Start with a higher enrollment accuracy if the system is intended to be used with a larger crowd. Default enrollment threshold value is 48.

Face confidence

Use higher face confidence for event image if good image quality is available. Default face confidence value is 40.

Face quality

Increase the value if the same user identified differently from time to time. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality face images. Default face quality value is 40. Detect faces with mask sub setting has been introduced with face quality setting to enables face capturing waring face masks. Refer Detect faces with mask setting for more details.

Maximum face yaw

The maximum angle of the face needs to be captured by the client. Maximum face yaw can be 0- 90 degrees.

Detect faces with mask

Neurotechnology Biometric algorithms can recognize faces even the person wearing a mask. In an environment where most people wear face masks (e. g.: Hospitals) this setting will easily identify employees To enable this feature, check the checkbox “Detect faces with mask” under Face Quality setting.

Note

By enabling this setting, face quality threshold is set to 0 and you cannot change it without disabling mask mode

Face confidence for enrollment

Use higher face confidence for enrolling image if good image quality is available. Default face confidence value is 30.

Face quality for Enrollment

Increase the value if the enrolling face image duplicates with enrolled face image of another user. By increasing this value, the system is forced to ignore low quality face images. Default value is 48.

Finger quality for Enrollment

Increase the value if the enrolling finger image duplicated with enrolled finger image of another user. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality finger scans. Default fingerprint quality value is 40.

Iris quality for Enrollment

Increase the value if the enrolling itris image duplicates with the iris image of another user. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality iris scans. Default fingerprint quality value is 50.

Fingerprint quality

Increase the value if the same user identified differently from time to time. By increasing the value, the system is forced to ignore low quality finger scans. Default fingerprint quality value is 40.

Iris quality
