The Viisage system is a freestanding, automated image capture system that combines the corporation's biometric networked processor (BNP) with software for overt screening at airport security checkpoints. The system has been designed for a higher quality, standardized facial image capture.
The system features an audio speaker and indicator lights to notify passengers when they can proceed through the checkpoints. It also features a live monitor to gain the attention of passengers prior to their walking through the checkpoint. Once a passenger enters the checkpoint, the system transmits the live video stream to the biometric network processor. The image is then matched against a database of known criminals and terrorists provided by law enforcement. The entire process, from the time the passenger enters the checkpoint until he or she exits, takes an average of five seconds.
