Facial Recognition Services

• Biometrics is a form of bioinformatics that uses biological properties to identify individuals. Examples of biometrics are fingerprinting, facial recognition, iris scanning, signature authentication, voice recognition, and hand geometry. Facial recognition is simply using characteristics of the face to identify an individual.
  

• There are several practical reasons for favoring facial recognition over other biometrics for the purposes of identification. Since the biometric data can be captured at a distance, it does not require active participation on the part of the subject; the individual need not pose, push a button or click a mouse to activate a system, stare into a lens, or press an ink pad. Facial recognition is unobtrusive and discrete. The infrastructure for its implementation is already widespread and inexpensive. Security cameras are common in airports, ATM machines, or at any location a business owner, governmental agency, or private homeowner may choose to keep secure. Every government agency and many private companies keep photo ID records. In addition, intelligence agencies have massive surveillance databases of images and video. There is a growing need to match these legacy photos to live individuals: for example, to check that someone is authorized to enter a building, that the user of a debit card is the owner of that card, or that someone entering the country does not match a photo of a known or suspected terrorist.

• ASPS can provide permanent or temporary integration of the world's top facial recognition software.  This includes setup, database support, training, and integration. The primary uses of this technology include:

• Employee identification

• Special Event control

• Suspect identification for perimeter control  (Pedophiles at school functions etc.)

• Law enforcement to identify wanted suspect in a public forum

• Casinos and other entertainment venues to control or identify suspect risks

• Document control (digital chip in passports, drivers' licenses)

• Transactional authentication (credit cards, ATMs, point-of-sale)

• Computer security (user access verification)

• Physical access control (smart doors)

• Voter registration (election accuracy)

• Time and attendance (entry and exit verification)

• This is an exploding market and ASPS would enjoy launching a new program with your facility in this new technology space.
