Positive Identification and Access Control
Imagine it.
Provide airport facilities and border control checkpoints with security solutions that use automated document authentication and traveler identification in order to identify undesired (delinquent) visitors all the while maintaining a comfortable, non-obtrusive climate for travelers and maintaining a rapid flow of travelers through checkpoints.
Done.
Two ES7000 servers, employing 1.3 GHz Intel Itanium 2 processors, provide failover capability and support for the biometric security solution at the Chilean International Airport. Each border station uses AssureTec Systems’ document reader and a video camera that are connected to the ES7000 servers through a data center to provide a completely integrated solution.
Securing safe travel
Unisys and the ES7000 server are doing its part to help fight crime. Working closely with the Chilean Immigration Police, Unisys is assisting with a biometric security solution that addresses forgery problems with travel documents and movement of criminals across borders all the while speeding up airport queues.
The system is organized in three conceptual security rings: document authentication, face recognition delinquency check and fingerprint check. As the traveler is processed, their passport is scanned to determine its authenticity and to detect tampering by checking the passport security marks. The traveler’s face is also scanned and compared to the image on the passport. At the same time, the system compares the image to the Criminal Pictures Database using a face recognition algorithm designed by Cognitec Systems. If any suspicious travelers are flagged and the previous checks have not been conclusive, a fingerprint is scanned and a search is conducted on civil and criminal databases. In order to be less offensive, the fingerprint check is performed in a closed office, away from wondering eyes. The 60-kiosk biometric security solution includes a datacenter and two Unisys ES7000 Orion 420 servers that compares the camera image of the traveler to an Criminal Pictures Database.
The biometric security solution employs morphing technology to transform approximately 15,000 images from the Criminal Pictures Database into 50 two-dimensional photos providing a three-dimensional effect. The images are created using different camera angles, lighting conditions and facial expressions resulting in greater accuracy. With the biometric security solution running on the Unisys ES7000 server, it takes just half a second to do a 1 to 750,000 search (1:750,000). The real-time response makes the kiosk queues shorter and is more convenient for travelers. And most importantly, the Unisys ES7000 server is helping keep travelers safe.
