20 17 iris recognition will be adopted in Singapore.

20 17 Singapore immigrants have introduced many new policies. In order to improve the security of Singapore passports and the efficiency of customs clearance, Singaporean immigrants will collect everyone's iris features and use iris scanning technology to scan immigrant applicants. Therefore, in the future, when applying for Singapore citizen and permanent resident ID cards, besides ID card photos and fingerprints, eye scans are also required. Let's take a look at it with the overseas immigration network.

Singapore's new immigration regulations:

Starting from next year's 65438+1 October1,Singapore citizens and permanent residents are required to provide photos and fingerprints when applying for or renewing their identity cards or passports, and the Immigration and Checkpoints Bureau will also collect the iris features of applicants to improve operational efficiency.

As early as this year 165438+ 10, Congress passed the National Registration (Amendment) Act, which included iris features as a new biometric method.

This application of Singapore Immigration Bureau can be described as cool.

Iris scanning technology is a non-contact and non-invasive method for information collection and identity verification. After 2 years old, the iris pattern remains unchanged for life. Iris patterns are extremely complicated, and everyone is different. One person's left and right eyes or twins' irises are different.

Automatic iris recognition instrument can capture iris video images several feet away, which can be quickly recognized. The recognition process is completed in 1s, which is similar to taking pictures and won't hurt eyes.

Iris scanning technology will be used in the sea, land and air checkpoints in China in the next two years, which will supplement the existing fingerprint and photo identification methods and improve the accuracy of identification.

But the people he is targeting are not so popular.

What is iris scanning (iris)

Iris scanning is a non-contact and non-invasive eye biometric technology based on human iris texture. The iris tissue of human body is the most unique, stable, unchangeable and anti-deceptive, and it is the most ideal and accurate basis for identity recognition.

Iris is a part of the eye structure, which is located in the middle layer of the eyeball and at the forefront of the vascular membrane, and can automatically adjust the size of the pupil.

How to collect iris images?

The whole process is similar to taking pictures, and it can be completed in a few seconds. Everyone only needs to keep a distance of 0.5 meters to 1 meter from the iris image collector. The white light of the instrument lights up, indicating that you can shoot; The yellow light shows that you are standing too close to the instrument; The green light indicates that the whole acquisition process is completed.

Applicable object:

The main target of eye iris scanning is people who are currently planning to apply for permanent residents or citizens of Singapore.

In the future, when applying for Singapore citizen and permanent resident ID cards, besides ID card photos and fingerprints, eye scans are also required.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Bureau will appoint Singapore Post staff as registrants.

They will assist in collecting iris images of ID card holders at designated post offices as part of the application or re-application procedures.

At present, in order to facilitate the citizens to collect their completed ID cards or passports nearby, they can choose to collect them at some post office branches. In order to let the public continue to use this convenient service, the authorities have given the new postal staff the right to collect the applicant's iris image.

Iris scanning technology is easy to realize, which will improve work efficiency, and at the same time, it will effectively strengthen the inspection of Singapore checkpoints and the identity verification of citizens and permanent residents.

When Singaporeans use the automatic customs clearance system in the future, in addition to fingerprint identification, they can also prove their identity through iris scanning, and the entry and exit procedures will be smoother.
