What is Intel RealSense ID?

With a Quick Glance, Intel RealSense ID Provides Secure Access Control

Authenticating users in less than a second, it combines industry-leading hardware, vision technology, and AI software to ensure reliability in varied conditions. Every skin tone and lighting condition are reliably supported.

Facial authentication - Authenticates every skin tone and shade reliably

Authenticates every skin tone and shade reliably.
Designed to work for everyone, you can trust Intel RealSense ID.

Day Night

From darkness to strong sunlight, indoors or out — it works.
An active depth sensor projects an infrared pattern that enables accurate authentication even in low light conditions.

Facial authentication - Adapts to changes over time

Adapts to changes over time.
No matter how much your style changes, Intel RealSense ID learns over time.

Facial authentication - Supports children to tall adults, from many different angles

Supports children to tall adults, from many different angles.
Easy to use, the solution allows a natural interaction for most people from 120 cm to 190 cm in height at a 55 cm distance.

Authentication can be 1:1 or 1:N.

No. Intel RealSense ID is a complete solution that includes hardware and software. There are two form factors: Intel RealSense ID F450 Module and Intel RealSense ID F455 Peripheral.

Yes. Intel RealSense ID supports facial authentication with medical face masks.

Yes. The authentication algorithm is designed to adapt to changes within reason.

Intel RealSense ID is mainly designed for Facial Authentication. Facial Authentication use cases that need multiple devices are typically positioned side-by-side or in parallel. These configurations are unlikely to have IR noise interference. Further, the short period of IR burst is unlikely to cause interference.

Intel RealSense ID is a peripheral device that can connect to any host that supports IFTTT via the published interfaces like USB 2.0. Please see the technical specification for more information.

There is a limit of up to 500 faces recognized on-device by the camera.

Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 is meant to be used with Intel RealSense depth cameras. Intel RealSense ID SDK is only used by the Intel RealSense ID F455 peripheral and F450 module.

Yes. Intel RealSense ID solutions are designed for continuous usage.

Intel RealSense ID is a self-contained solution that includes the necessary hardware and software. The solution is purpose-built for facial authentication and is designed for standalone (edge) or connected configurations.

No. Intel RealSense ID is not designed for authenticating animals.

Yes. Intel RealSense ID supports up to 5 people in the Field of View.

The solution does not store or need any user pictures. It is designed to use facial templates which are encrypted before being stored. Depending on the configuration, this can be stored locally or externally.

Intel RealSense ID Solution F455/F450 Camera resolution is 1080p.

Currently, the solution is designed for authentication and not explicitly designed for tailgate detection.

Yes, please download the datasheet for more information.

Yes, starting in Q1 2024, a software subscription license is required to access anti-spoofing and facial authentication features.

Significant improvements in accuracy and speed of detection have been made on the F450 and F455 and associated software. Starting in Q1 2024, the subscription license for anti-spoofing and facial authentication includes software updates for those who subscribe to the new software.

You may use the existing hardware today. A firmware update will be available in February 2024, and is recommended for all existing customers to enhance security.

Please refer to Get Started for instructions on updating your hardware with the latest software.

Existing customers who purchased hardware prior to 2024 may use their existing software as-is with the firmware security update 4.3.0.300. However, to access new anti-spoofing and facial authentication algorithms, enhanced software features, and regular software maintenance, customers will need to update the software to version 5.7 or newer, which will require a paid software license. Software will be available for download in Q2 2024.

Starting in Q1 2024, a minimum software subscription to the anti-spoofing software will be required. Customers also have the option to purchase the premium subscription service which includes both anti-spoofing and facial authentication software.

Licenses will be managed through Intel IRC (Intel Registration Center). Customers will need to connect their devices to the internet to initialize or renew the license, but will not need the internet connection for normal operations once the license key is initiated.
