International Biometric Group (IBG) Announces June 11th Webcast: Standoff Iris Recognition Systems

IBG's next installment of its monthly webcast series will focus on standoff biometric technology

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 10, 2009 -- International Biometric Group (IBG) is hosting a free webcast on standoff iris recognition technologies on Thursday, June 11th at 1:00 pm EST.

Advances in optics and illumination have driven development of iris recognition technologies capable of identifying individuals at a distance and on the move. Government agencies are examining cutting-edge applications for fast, accurate "stand-off" iris recognition systems in high-volume, non-cooperative applications.

IBG was recently contracted by the Public Security Technical Program, an initiative of Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), to test standoff iris recognition systems for enhanced surveillance during major events.

In this 30-minute webcast, IBG Consultant Olga Raskin will discuss the following:

* Capabilities and features of state-of-the art standoff iris recognition systems

* Approaches taken by iris recognition vendors such as AOptix, Retica, Sarnoff, Hoyos, and Honeywell

* Standoff iris recognition applications

* Current projects and implementations

Event Title: Standoff Iris Recognition Systems

Event Date: June 11, 2009 at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
