Biometrics

Medium Range Facial Recognition: Our medium-range facial recognition capability allows us to process still camera and streaming video imagery. Distances range up to a few hundred meters from the target(s). In addition to dismounted and tripod-mounted options, we also offer a handheld capability. This capability is well-suited to crowd scanning functions and provides the same automated tracking and real-time alerting available on our long-distance platforms. The common design of the system enables dismounted and force protection configurations.

Iris Recognition: I³ offers standoff iris recognition, ranging up to 40m in distance. These capabilities provide a powerful covert identification option for subjects that may have their face obscured due to garments, physical impediments, or off-angle posing. In addition, where voice is not an option due to speaker behavior or lack of a sample to collect, standoff iris provides an effective alternative.

Heart: I³ designed, developed and demonstrated man-portable system for heart biometrics using a standoff laser vibrometer to measure pulse response at distances up to 200m. This system enables the operator to covertly collect heart biometrics from multiple body locations, including some that might be covered by clothing. The matching algorithm uses unique aspects of the heart pulse shape to create biometric signatures that cannot be disguised by the subject.

Voice: I³ designed and developed a man-portable system for voice biometrics to collect audio recordings of the subject’s voice at distances up to 200m. The TRL-7 system can covertly record audio from the subject’s face or skull, from a cell phone, or from a nearby surface such as a newspaper. In addition to biometric identification from voice characteristics, the system can also perform real-time automated speech transcription in multiple languages with real-time keyword alerting. In addition, we have designed a system to integrate both heart and voice biometrics into a single sensor platform capable of much longer standoff distances – up to 5 kilometers.

I³ provides end-to-end biometric software development, data base administration, information assurance and test & evaluation as well as provides deployment support for real world solutions in the U.S. and overseas. Our expertise also includes enterprise level Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and training support for many levels of customers, including the Department of Defense (DoD), in the US and around the world.
