When most people think of facial image scanning, there’s a good chance their thought process immediately goes to facial recognition technology. After all, that’s the most prevalent use case we hear about today – millions of people are unlocking their smartphones with facial recognition, and anyone who watches crime dramas on TV has seen the technology used many times.
The truth is, while facial recognition is a use case for image scanning, it’s hardly the only one. Countless new use cases are emerging as scanning technology improves – which it must do for more advanced applications that require highly accurate, detailed imaging. Let’s face it, how accurate is the imaging software on your phone if it can be unlocked with a photo, or if a son’s face can unlock his father’s phone?
Therein lies that challenge. How do you take scanning to the next level to be able to create advanced applications for healthcare and other verticals? The truth is, it’s not about the image itself as it is about what you do with the image data.
IKIN has been revolutionizing imaging for many years now with its holography technology. It has brought both small- and large-format headset-free holography to market with a number of use cases. Last year, it demonstrated its technology and officially launched its IKIN University program for content developers at ITEXPO.
IKIN’s holography depends on image scanning data, of course, so when the company was approached to solve a specific problem during the COVID-19 pandemic, it accepted and rose to the challenge…Read full article on techzone360.com
