EF-45™ Iris Recognition System: System User Manual (v0.1.4)
EF-45™ Iris Recognition System: System User Manual (v0.1.4)
This new iris recognition system offers highly intuitive, hands-free iris biometrics
imaging in a compact and elegantly designed identification and authentication
terminal for use in a wide range of identity management applications.
The front facing nominal 5.0 inch LCD serves to
display the user’s face image for fast, easy and
highly natural positioning for proper iris image
capture. The subject merely puts his or her face in
the positioning box at the top of the LCD, and then
moves toward the system to size his or her head to
the box to be in proper range. Image capture is fast
and automatic. While user instructions are very
simple, almost all subjects will be able to interact EF-45™ Next Generation
with the system without any direction. Iris Recognition System
The capture range is a robust 35 to 45 cm, also contributing to the system’s ease
of use. There is an optional “fast capture mode”, in which the range is further
extended to 30 to 45 cm, although in this mode, images may not conform to ISO
19794-6 2011 standards.
And the internal automatic tilt mechanism adjusts to the user’s height or vertical
position over a range of 40 cm (about 16 inches), making the EF-45 ideal for
countertop, desktop, wall mount or kiosk installations.
The EF-45 is an embedded terminal, which means that all image processing and
machine control is performed on the internal Linux-on-ARM mainboard. Typical
connectivity to host systems is through TCP/IP (Ethernet). And iris biometric
encoding and matching is typically performed on-board as well, so identification
or authentication decisions are made locally for fast responsiveness. For access
control, there are Wiegand connections for dedicated, local communications to
door controllers or panels.
Other typical options include WiFi and a smart card reader.
For all specifications, please see Specification section.
For complete depiction of all EF-45 on-board screens, see “EF-45 LCD Control
Screens and On-Board Demo Application” manual.
Intuitive LCD face display positioning for fast, simple and natural iris user
experience—like a smart phone “Selfie”
Contactless iris imaging at range of 35 to 45 cm stand-off in normal mode, and
30 to 45 in fast recognition mode. (Note: enrollment is always performed in
normal mode.)
Internal, automatic face and iris camera tilt mechanism with nominal height
range of 40 cm
Positioning guidance vocalizations selectable on / off and delay time. English
standard, all other languages available with .wav file substitution
Simultaneous dual iris recognition with typical capture speed of under 1 second
On-board iris encoding and matching, with internal data base of up to 10,000
users in either 1:1 (authentication) or 1:N (identification) modes
Optional Combined Face and Iris modes:
Face as primary modality, with face recognition rejects decisions
automatically switch over to iris recognition
Supplemental face recognition in case of iris recognition failure-to-capture
(FTC), so that face recognition follows iris recognition attempt
Supports dual factor authentication with card or PIN
Optimized imaging for difficult ambient lighting conditions
Optimized image capture for most sunglasses, glasses, and facial veils
Supports imaging of all iris colors
Kensington lock slot standard
Standard communications connectors and protocols for TCP/IP (Ethernet RJ-45),
RS-484 and -232, dual Wiegand I/O, TTL, and dry contact relay
Connection cables with press-in connectors included in accessories kit
External audio connector
Tamper switch on rear panel
Access control (AC) configuration includes wall mount plate
Optional WiFi support (choice of compact or antenna type modules)
50 cm
144 cm
The recommended mounting height for the EF-45 is 144cm (57 inches) from floor
to the bottom of EF-45. The mounting height can be adjusted to accommodate
the height of the average user.
High ambient light and / or direct light into the EF-45 should be avoided.
Sunlight, halogen lamps or other strong illumination may reduce the
performance of the EF-45 and may result in increased failure-to-capture rates or
failed authentication events.
The EF-45 was designed for indoor use only. This unit is not weatherproof and
must not be exposed to water, ice, extreme temperatures or other adverse
weather conditions. If it is required to use this unit in outdoor or extreme
environments contact local sales or [email protected] for more information.

The on-board demonstration application shows the full capabilities of the EF-45 for
image capture including subject positioning with the face display user interface,
enrollment, and on-board matching (authentication).
The system boots up in this demo application. It is initated by the video based
motion detector that first finds the subject from about 1 meter distance, and then
continues the natural iris image capture sequence for capture in recognition /
authentication mode.
To switch to enrollment mode, press large User icon in center of main Launcher
page. If the system is in image capture mode, press Home icon ( ) on top left of
active user interface display, which will stop Recognition mode and return system to
Launcher page.
This user screen also allows simple database management. By tapping the Delete
icon in the bottom right, one can easily delete information of enrolled users.
To enroll a new user, press the Enroll icon to bring up Enroll User screen.
Press the plus (+) button in the bottom left to capture image of the new user.
After successfully capturing iris images, click on √OK to accept images. The
system then returns to Enroll User screen. Click on Name field to enter name of
subject, then click on √OK to complete enrollment.
