Infrared LED yields high-quality images for facial recognition

OSRAM  Oslux SFH 4796S infrared LED (IRED) for biometric security solutions comes with a specially designed variant for facial recognition. Device ensures uniform illumination of facial features for high image quality. Device provides a low-profile design that enables a narrow emission angle, which ensures the light generated hits exactly the point where illumination is required, so the overall system operates extremely efficiently. Oslux IREDs are based on an internal reflector and a specially adapted, integrated lens; the flat component surface offers a significant design advantage in facial recognition applications. http://www.osram-os.com
