pattern theory) stated, “Ayonix has developed a strong reputation for
delivering excellence in face recognition technology. We are pleased to expand
our global reach and enter into the Sri Lankan market, which we have identified
as a market with immense potential. Sri Lanka is also well on track towards
becoming a thriving megopolis and economic hub. The many real estate projects,

The Ayonix Corporation was officially
founded in March 2007 by four Japanese entrepreneurs who recognized the need
for solutions in the rapidly growing field of biometrics. The company’s core
face recognition technology was developed in 2000 and has since been utilized
by both government and commercial customers from a diverse array of industries.
Since its inception, Ayonix has experienced significant growth and in 2012, the
company developed the world’s first 3D face engine and thereafter created the
most accurate 3D face recognition engine called ‘Air-1 Engine’.
All Ayonix face recognition products are
fully developed by the company’s in-house R&D and Application team without
the use of any outsourcing. Ayonix has been ranked as number two in the NIST
2014 face recognition test and successfully matched the faces of 1.7 million
people in just one second, providing definitive proof of the superiority of the
company’s face recognition technology. Ayonix now also provides a broader spectrum of
products that have more advanced features such as a gender and age detector, a
make-up and hair style detector, smile detector, sunglass detector and mask
detector. Ayonix engineers are continuously working on performance improvements
in both speed and accuracy and the company’s strong sales and customer service
division is well-equipped to provide customers with intensive before and after
sales support.
