Swallow Incubate Releases Liveness Detection API with 99.99% Accuracy on AWS Marketplace - Now Generally Available Worldwide

Eliminate photo-based hacking of facial recognition. Liveness Detection (Anti-Spoofing) Technology determines whether the face in front of the camera is a real person or a spoof.

Built on technology jointly patented with Panasonic, our Liveness Detection (Anti-Spoofing) Technology is a biometric security core technology that prevents spoofing and hacking in systems such as facial recognition and eKYC (online identity verification). It works with visible-light cameras such as USB webcams and built-in PC cameras, and delivers high-accuracy determination using deep learning. It prevents spoofing through "Fake Face Detection," which can determine liveness from a single frame, and "Action Detection," which uses time-series data to detect specified actions such as blinking and changes in face orientation. By compressing the learning model, we achieve a processing speed of approximately 100 ms per frame even on CPU alone (measured on our Windows machine with an 8th-generation Core i7 CPU). We offer both an SDK and applications. The applications support CSV output and recording as standard, so they can be used beyond real-time verification. Two versions are available: a camera-input version and a file-input version.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The use of wood is not limited to construction anymore. The utilization of Hyper CLT Mats is expanding as a new market that connects civil engineering and wood.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Stable adhesion to rough and uneven surfaces such as stone, sheet metal, textured glass, and wood. Piab's "PX Suction Cup Series" is designed for handling rough surfaces, patterned surfaces, and uneven workpieces that are difficult to hold with standard flat suction cups. The high-conformity EPDM sealing ring adapts to the irregularities and shapes of the work surface, while the rigid aluminum support plate and internal support pad provide a stable grip. The internal support pad helps stabilize thin sheets and delicate workpieces while minimizing suction marks. It is suitable for demanding industrial applications involving stone, metal, glass, and wood. Additionally, a cone valve integrated version is also available. By preventing leaks from suction cups that do not contact the workpiece, it enhances safety during transport while reducing air consumption. This is also effective for energy-saving measures in large-area grippers that use multiple suction cups.
