Homsh Ranks No.1 in 2026 Iris Recognition Rankings: Dual Engines of Algorithm and Chip, 15 Years of Focus on One Core Mission
In March 2026, DBC/CIW/eNet16 (China Academy of Electronics and Information Technology) released the 2026 Classification Rankings of Recognition Technology Companies, covering all recognition technology tracks including fingerprint, iris, face, image and voice recognition. The evaluated enterprises include industry giants such as Hikvision, SenseTime and Megvii.
In the iris recognition track, Homsh claimed the No.1 spot among iris recognition technology companies with its core positioning of "recognition algorithms and intelligent chips".
This recognition from a third-party authoritative institution is the best testament to Homsh's 15 years of in-depth development in the field.
▲ Iris recognition technology has been widely used in high-security scenarios such as border ports and financial security
Why Iris Recognition?
Among all biometric recognition technologies, the iris is known as "the most reliable biological password". A person's iris is basically finalized within 18 months after birth and remains unchanged for life; the uniqueness of iris texture far exceeds that of fingerprints, with a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) as low as below 0.0001%.
This means that among the 8 billion people in the world, the probability of two people's iris features being confused is approximately one in a billion.
Identity Crisis in the Deepfake Era
Today, as AI forgery technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, facial recognition is facing severe challenges from deepfakes. Iris recognition, by virtue of its liveness detection features and biological complexity, has become an irreplaceable identity authentication method in high-security scenarios.
Border ports, financial institutions, military facilities, data centers — these scenarios with "zero fault tolerance" for identity accuracy are increasingly adopting iris recognition as the final line of defense.
Homsh's Core Barriers: Algorithm × Chip
Founded in 2011, Homsh is one of the few domestic enterprises that masters both core iris recognition algorithms and dedicated chips.
▲ Phaselirs™ Phase Encoding Algorithm and Qianxin Series Chips form Homsh's dual technological moat
Phaselirs™ Phase Encoding Algorithm
Independently developed by Homsh, it extracts and matches iris texture features based on the principle of phase encoding, delivering outstanding performance in real-world scenarios such as complex lighting, motion blur, and glasses wearing. After 15 years of continuous iteration, it has been verified in actual deployments in more than 50 countries and regions.
Qianxin Series FPGA/ASIC Chips
The iris recognition algorithm is solidified into the self-developed chips to realize high-speed, low-power recognition at the edge. It operates at full speed in an offline environment without cloud computing, and user biometric data never leaves the device, fundamentally eliminating the risk of privacy leakage.
OVAI System (Released in 2025)
Short for Optical Vision AI, it deeply integrates the latest deep learning with traditional phase algorithms, achieving significant improvements in both recognition accuracy and processing speed in complex scenarios. It marks Homsh's official entry into a new stage of "AI-driven iris recognition".

From Short-Range to Medium and Long-Range: The Unsatisfied Market Gap
Traditional iris recognition requires users to be close to the device (within 1 meter), limiting the user experience. The core technology direction Homsh is currently tackling is contactless iris recognition from medium-range (3 meters) to long-range (5-10 meters).
This capability will completely transform the following scenarios:
● Airport Customs Clearance: Travelers do not need to stop, and the camera completes iris verification 3-5 meters away.
● Large-Scale Events: Enables fast passage and eliminates fake tickets and identity fraud.
● Smart Buildings: Delivers frictionless access when entering and exiting, no need to approach the turnstiles.
● Law Enforcement Scenes: Completes identity verification of suspects at a safe distance.
From 1 meter to 10 meters, Homsh is extending iris recognition from professional equipment to ubiquitous infrastructure.
273 Patents, Deployed in Over 50 Countries
With 15 years of deep cultivation, Homsh has built a complete intellectual property moat and global deployment capability:
● 273+ patents and intellectual property rights
● Deployed in over 50 countries and regions
● 15 years of exclusive focus on iris recognition
▲ Homsh's products have been actually deployed in more than 50 countries and regions, covering border, finance, energy, medical and other fields
Its service areas cover: border customs, financial collection, government certificate issuance, military security, mining energy, medical health, and smart buildings. From China to Southeast Asia, from the Middle East to Africa, Homsh is safeguarding real border ports, bank counters and security facilities.
Infrastructure for Identity Authentication in the New Era
When AI-generated content makes "seeing is not believing" the norm, and when deepfakes expose facial authentication to unprecedented challenges, the world needs a more reliable identity anchor.
The iris is one of the answers. And Homsh is engineering, productizing and globalizing this answer.
Ranking first is both recognition and responsibility.
