Travel and Immigration

Geometrix ActiveID systems offer the world's most effective total solution for speeding travelers through large-scale border and airport ID checks without compromising tight security, and the only 3D facial recognition solution that already meets ICAO travel document standards.

To achieve the security we need without high per-traveler costs and the inconvenience of long lines at secondary inspection, large-scale travel security systems require all of the following features, which today are available only in Geometrix ActiveID systems:

Extremely accurate first-pass identity verification using multiple biometrics:
ActiveID systems featuring ActiveFusion technology fuse 3D face, 2D face, and fingerprint biometrics to provide false acceptance and false rejection rates significantly better than any single biometric modality can ever achieve.

Extremely accurate 3D facial recognition:
FaceVision 3D facial recognition provides identity verification accuracy approaching fingerprint levels, which enables travelers to be identified and processed with confidence even when fingerprints cannot be acquired due to age, race, occuptional skin damage, finger injuries, or contaminants transferred to a sensor from prior fingerprint scans. It is immune to all known spoofing methods.

Powerful exceptional handling capabilities:
For those few travelers that do generate an exception, security personnel can instantly compare the traveler to enrolled 3D facial data interactively, using simple tools precise enough for a forensic analyst. By rotating to compare profiles or zooming in to assess a birthmark, exception processing can finally be performed in a way that leverages all the biometric processing power of the human eyes and brain.

No wonder the new ICAO standard for international travel document biometrics includes fields designed specifically for unique ActiveID capabilities. If you're involved in developing a next-generation travel or immigration identity management system, consider the alternatives, then contact Geometrix for a demonstration of the shape of things to come.
