Millions of people enter the United States each year – some stay, and others leave after a brief visit. How do we know which people should be allowed to visit, and more importantly, allowed to stay? Currently there are numerous safety mechanisms, including passports, visas, and immigration officials who check for matches against threat watchlists. There are also computer-driven watchlist checks for everything from airline passengers to visa applicants.
But there are still wide gaps in security that compromise our borders. Of the thousands of visitors, relatively few undergo intense screening by a human eye. Even then, changes to appearance can make comparison difficult. Computer checks using 2D photographs often cannot deal with problems such as different lighting conditions between mugshots, or different facial expressions.
The solution is 3D facial recognition, which can overcome obstacles common to 2D matching or human error. Genex’s SureMatch 3D Suite for WatchList is a 3D facial recognition system that allows security or immigration officials to automate the task of entry monitoring at the nation’s borders. By constantly monitoring for faces in terrorist lists or criminal lists, SureMatch 3D is a powerful screen.
