Border ControlTravelers arriving in the United States will soon be required to present a new generation of Passports containing micro chips with biometric data stored. This enables much higher levels of security as the document can be linked directly to the person to whom it was issued. There are similar programs around the world for Visas and National IDs as well as for the Passports. The issue driving this effort is that traditional documents can be tampered with and forged and used for fraudulent and potentially dangerous motives. Securing the documents and linking to the individual with biometrics makes it much more difficult for unauthorized people to gain access into a country's borders. Bioscrypt develops advanced identification solutions using breakthrough 3D facial recognition technology. Through innovations in 3D data capturing and processing capabilities, these systems permit industry-leading accuracy in real-time facial recognition and tracking. Bioscrypt products offer the advantages of fast throughput and flexibility while being able to work in dim lighting and even darkness. This enables authentication in very unfavorable conditions. AdvantagesBioscrypt facial recognition technology utilizes distinctive features of the face to perform authentication. The 3D Images are captured in real time and focus on features where rigid tissue or bone is most apparent and less likely to change over time, which include the eye socket curvature, nose, chin, etc. The following are some of the significant advantages that this technology enables. - Introduces depth as a 3rd axis of measurement allowing facial angles and curves to be measured on a sub-millimeter scale.
- Not affected by lighting conditions and may even be used in darkness.
- Robust to different view angles and has the potential to recognize a subject at near 30 degrees.
- Ability to perform verification matching in milliseconds.
The points above are very important for system flexibility leading to ease of use for users of the technology. For any biometric technology there are several aspects that are required of the solution for a successful deployment. These factors include a system that requires minimal cooperation from the subject, allows for flexibility in positioning and ambient conditions, has a high level of accuracy, and is ergonomically designed to keep people moving quickly through secured areas. Bioscrypt's 3D facial recognition technology combines high accuracy with minimal user cooperation. 3D facial templates are precisely defined and unique to a scanned individual. The complex recognition process is performed extremely fast; positive verification of an individual can be done in less then 1 second. The high rate of accuracy and speed characteristics of the VisionAccess solution is unprecedented and perfectly suited for tracking though customs and border control checkpoints. SolutionsBorder Control CheckpointsePassport and Visa programs are being mandated by government agencies around the world. The intent is to increase the level of accurateness for immigration and add an increased level of security. The new generation of passports, already being rolled out in several countries, will contain a RFID chip that securely stores an individuals biometrics such as fingerprint and facial templates. At the border checkpoints, biometric readers will compare the traveler's live biometric image to the stored information on the passport to verify a match. This ensures that the person is who they claim. When a large international flight unloads there are hundreds of people that need to be screened and verified through customs quickly and securely. VisionAccess Civil ID hardware produce images that adheres to the ICAO standards for machine readable travel documents and provides the efficiency and security required.
