AOptix Launches Dash Six Iris Recognition Enterprise SDK

  • Aug 15, 2011
AOptix Technologies, Inc., a developer of advanced biometrics-based identity solutions, recently announced the launch of their Dash Six Iris Recognition Enterprise SDK. As a complement to their InSight iris recognition systems, AOptix is rolling out Dash Six to bring exceptional matching accuracy to customers looking for openness, ease of integration and strong integration support.

Dash Six offers powerful, flexible, iris image processing capabilities that include iris segmentation, encoding and matching. Following years of rigorous engineering, structured statistical analysis and optimization in real world environments, Dash Six achieves superior accuracy, interoperability and speed.

With Dash Six, users can tailor functional attributes to meet deployment needs. The SDK offers strong support for “one-to-one” authentication (including a compact template-on-card format) as well as large-scale "one-to-many" identification, supported by powerful image quality and anti-spoofing metrics. And, because AOptix prioritizes interoperability, Dash Six can be implemented with a wide range of iris recognition systems.

“The Dash Six algorithm is already in use in demanding airport passenger terminals, secure facilities, and other environments where accuracy and consistency are critical,” says Joseph Pritikin, director of product marketing at AOptix. “When coupled with images captured from our InSight system, it unleashes the full capability of iris recognition, providing industry-leading biometric performance.”

Built for Windows and Linux operating systems, Dash Six is based on ISO 19794-6 standards for image format and quality. AOptix is now accepting orders for the Dash Six Software Development Kit and associated deployment licenses, and welcomes inquiries from domestic and international systems integrators, VARs, and end users.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
