2021-04-12 11:42:41Source:CIOE
In recent years, the explosion of mobile Internet has accelerated the shift from "cash payment" to "electronic (mobile) payment", allowing people to live a cashless life. With the progress of sensor technology, the security authentication method of mobile payment has developed from password, fingerprint, to face recognition. Among them, 3D face recognition is favored by financial payment-related manufacturers and consumers for its advantages in security, ease of use and contactlessness. Currently, China has become the fastest growing country in the world in terms of 3D face payment technology and market, both in terms of demand group base, algorithm accuracy and security policy.
On April 9, 2021, the Face Recognition - Financial Payment Innovation Summit was held at the Jumeirah Himalaya Hotel in Shanghai, organized by CIOE. The summit invited more than ten leading companies from the supply chain of the 3D face recognition technologies, national standard-setting organization and authoritative testing organizations to share the latest progress of the face recognition. 600+ attendees were attracted to participate.
Here are some key insights from the presentations at this summit:
Li Shaoxin, Senior Researcher and Head of Face Recognition Technology, Tencent Youtu Lab: Trusted Identity Computing in Financial Payments
Li Shaoxin presented on "Trusted Identity Computing in Financial Payments". The speech started with the application of face recognition-the face core, in-depth explanation of the identification algorithm and live detection of trusted identity computing, and showed the full picture of the core technology of face payment. Mr. Li Shaoxin said that trusted identity computing based on biometrics is the core technology of face payment, and accuracy and security are its key indicators. In terms of accuracy, Tencent Youtu uses visible light (RGB), depth (Depth), infrared (IR) and other multi-modal information to improve recognition accuracy, and explores the use of cross-checking algorithms to improve security. In terms of security, Tencent Youtu conducts research from three directions: physical media, digital synthesis, and defense against attacks. Mr. Li Shaoxin introduced that Tencent Youtu has also begun to deploy multi-biological feature fusion solutions (such as face + palm print) in order to further enhance the ability of trusted identity computing. In the future, it hopes to promote the face payment industry with upstream and downstream partners to drive the development of the industry chain! At the end of the speech, Mr. Li Shaoxin also brought a " Easter egg ": he discussed with the attendees whether there is a limit to the accuracy of face recognition? If it does exist, how to achieve a zero misunderstanding financial payment solution?
CK Chua, Senior Marketing Manager, Ams: 3D application trends and core technologies
CK Chua introduced "3D Application Trends and Core Technologies" at the summit. At the beginning of the speech, CK Chua briefly introduced the company's situation after the acquisition of Osram by ams and its leading position in the field of optical sensing, and focused on its leading optical solution product portfolio, and he sorted out the mainstream core optical components and solutions. Then, CK Chua introduced ams' innovative application solutions in the field of sensing applications in the industrial field from the aspects of 3D identification, access control, industrial Internet of things and automation. In his speech, CK Chua explained in detail the differentiated design of 3D sensing by ams from three aspects: 3D components, sensing modules and solutions. CK Chua said that the derivative application scenarios of 3D face payment are very rich, such as item detection, crowd heat map management, automatic shelf inventory reminder, member recognition, etc., which can form a complete closed-loop business system management. At the end of the speech, CK Chua lamented that 3D sensing has become the mainstream technology to improve everyone's life!
Mr. Chen Ling, CEO, Mantis Vision: From "living body" to "face 3D feature recognition"——On the new generation of 3D sensing of Mantis Vision
Mr. Chen Ling, CEO of Mantis Vision, put forward three concerns about facial payment: application scenarios, technical aspects, and national policies. From the perspective of application scenarios: how to quickly and accurately locate the payer and deduct the payment from the billion-level face database in small amount of password-free payment? From a technical perspective: "Does the face look like" does not mean "is it right face", and women's makeup can also cause greater interference. From a policy perspective, the requirements of various countries will become more and more standardized, and European and American countries will be more stringent. Mr. Chen Ling believes that 3D face recognition training data, high-precision and high-depth resolution 3D sensing, and efficient algorithms are the main factors affecting the development of 3D face recognition. He introduced Mantis Vision’s study on relevant global research that the further integration of 3D + artificial intelligence (AI) is the only way to promote a safer and more mature application of face payment technology. Not limited to living body recognition, Mantis Vision will provide a new, more mature and reliable solution for face payment from 3D-assisted 2D face recognition, to 3D + 2D algorithm, and a new generation of high-precision 3D sensor.

Liu Shuo, Senior Business Director, Artificial Intelligence Department, Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data, China Academy of Information and Communication Technology: Create a credible paradigm for face applications and jointly protect face security
At the beginning of the speech, Mr. Liu Shuo said that the field of artificial intelligence (AI) is constantly developing. Face recognition is one of the most mature and industrialized technologies in the field of artificial intelligence. Faces are ubiquitous, but as they are gradually being applied in many aspects, various problems were exposed. At present, face technology can be simply divided into two categories: recognition and generation. Recognition technology mainly brings security problems. Generation technology often contains false information. Both types of technology have the risk of infringing on personal privacy. To this end, Mr. Liu Shuo suggested that it is urgent for everyone to work together to solve the problem of facial technology application for the nation, organizations, the public, enterprises and other multiple subjects participate in collaboration to create a credible facial recognition technology and application paradigm. A wide range of credible artificial intelligence is used as a reference. Finally, Mr. Liu Shuo introduced the "Trusted Face Application Guardian Program" initiated by the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data. Many well-known enterprises, government agencies and important associations in the industry have participated in it.
Li Yuan, Director of Product Testing Business Department of National Financial Technology Evaluation Center: Practicing face payment financial standards and building a new ecology of biometric detection
Li Yuan's speech focused on the analysis of face payment technology, related standards and detection. The display of the face recognition transaction process allows the audience to have a deeper understanding of the setting and testing of various technical standards. Later, Mr. Li Yuan explained in detail the three major items of face payment technology standard testing: live detection (test samples, test scenarios, result determination), terminal security (physical security, logical security, communication security, transaction security, and terminal technical requirements) and face recognition algorithm (evaluation index, performance pass standard). At the end of the speech, Mr. Li Yuan introduced the construction of the biometrics detection ecosystem, mainly analyzing the security risks and detection items of other biometrics such as fingerprints, iris, and voiceprints.
Facial recognition to realize financial payment still faces many challenges in technology, supervision, and security, but facial recognition is still the most promising biometric technology in the next few years. The face payment industry is bigger and stronger, and people can use it with peace of mind. It is inseparable from the open and cooperative mentality of enterprises in all links of the entire industry chain, upholding the original intention, following supervision, complying with regulations, and developing together!
