Facilities of all types have areas that should be restricted, from control rooms and critical supplies to sensitive information and vulnerable personnel. Often the question is not whether to implement access control or not. The issue is deploying a control system that is effective and unobtrusive to the people that use it on a daily basis. Keypad codes and RFID cards are convenient, but they can be lost or stolen, so there is a great need for either a replacement or supplemental system that is truly secure.
Fingerprint systems, iris scanners, and palm readers all require active effort on the part of the entrant. These methods also frequently create privacy concerns, because the individual is allowing private information to reside in a government database. The face is a much more public indentifier, and there is already a wide precedent for its use on driver’s licenses, passports, and other media.
Genex’s SureMatch 3D Suite for Access Control uses the readily available feature data on the face to create a highly secure matching template. For entry points such as doors, guard stations, or checkpoints this system allows for rapid matching and approval for entrance. Also, only Genex’s technology incorporates compensation for altered expressions and occlusions that typically cause problems with other facial recognition systems.
Now government security professionals have a tool that can secure everything from outdoor gates to indoor command and control centers.
