When Apple introduced the Face Unlock (called Face ID) was an immediate revolution but at that time we did not imagine that the smartphone unlocking technology could go further. There are several ways to unlock your device and one of them is… with your teeth. You got it right. Apparently a team of Indian scientists has come up with a way to make our mobile device be unlocked via dental recognition. Let's go see the details together.
Is fingerprint unlocking secure? What about Face Unlock via face? Maybe yes, but never like unlocking your smartphone with your teeth!
A group of Indian researchers announced the creation of a completely new authentication technology for various types of portable devices, including smartphones. This time, to verify the identity of the user, it is proposed to use the 32-tooth smile.
A team of researchers from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani has developed Deepteeth, a human authentication system based on dental photographs for mobile and portable devices. The scan is performed using a series of markers responsible for recognizing the unique characteristics of the user's teeth.
The essence of technology is similar to Apple's Face ID, only in this case the "key" of the device does not appear on the whole face, but only on the teeth. According to the developers, their system has no analogues. Furthermore, the tests showed "perfect precision”And a detailed description of how the technology works is presented in a recently published article (you can find it poco above).

As in the case of face scanning systems, teeth recognition is carried out comparing the reference image recorded with the front camera image of the mobile device. In the event of a match, the user gains access to the smartphone. A Face Unlock that turns into Teeth Unlock. The study authors are confident that their development has great potential, as it has ahigh precision.
