Positive verification of identification (ID) of large numbers of people (possibly thousands) in a short period of time, such as when people enter the doors of a manufacturing plant in the morning, can be a daunting task for guards of security. Current methods that use a password, a card slip system, a proximity card reader system or a combination are slow and vulnerable. For example, a card can be stolen or a password forgotten, copied or given to an unauthorized person. Hence the need for biometric-based access control systems (ACS). Many biometric systems address the problem of ID verification; However, none provide positive (reliable) positive identification quickly and conveniently. Fingerprint printing is unreliable and requires too much cooperation, facial recognition systems (FRS) are unacceptable in a one-to-many application, and iris scanning is slow and cumbersome. The FACTS solution combines radio frequency identification tags (RFID) with FRS, a-to-many FRS problem by using a one-on-one party for face verification (FV). This solution is dynamic, secure, positive and hands-free for fast access control. At the heart of the Honeywell FV system is a unique tri-band imaging camera (TBI) that reliably locates and records the face of a moving individual or driver upon entering a door.
