On July 29, 2019, China Daily published a full-page special report on Hubei Province entitled " Optics Valley, the cradle of star startups". It introduced the brilliant achievements of Optics Valley in the past 30 years. As a typical representative of high-tech innovative enterprises rooted in Optics Valley Wuhan Homsh Technology Co., Ltd. was invited to participate. The details of the article are as follows.
Optics Valley has witnessed the development of advanced technologies in different fields.
Wuhan Homsh Technology is a manufacturer of hightech chips for iris recognition equipment.
“Iris recognition is suitable for application in public security and security checks at border areas, with advantages in efficiency and accuracy when compared with other biometric data such as fingerprints,” said Yi Kaijun, the founder of the company.
Iris recognition technology is utilized mainly in antiterrorism and identity collection overseas. India includes iris scans in its national biometric identity system.
Yi said since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 in New York, iris scans have been used widely at airports and border checkpoints in foreign countries. The US and the Middle East have their own iris databases.
Yi said in China it is used for building security and also to identify miners before they go underground. He’s confident that Chinese airports will adopt iris recognition in the future, as concerns about public security increase.
“Our iris equipment is smaller in size, with lower energy consumption and more advanced technology. We’re telling government bodies across the country we can build an iris recognition system for them,” he said.
Their equipment is able to log into the iris database of police authorities, as it’s on the list of their qualified iris recognition equipment suppliers.
The company is also developing a small device that can be connected to a smartphone for police and the military that can scan a person’s iris and compare it with information in the database.
“China’s iris recognition industry will occupy an important place in the world — its large population means a large iris database,” Yi said
