Automated facial recognition for airports
This automated facial recognition system is designed to provide airports with a secure and efficient way to identify travelers. It uses advanced facial recognition technology to scan faces and compare them to a database of known individuals. The system is designed to be fast and accurate, providing airports with a reliable way to identify travelers
Automated border control systems (ABC) or eGates are automated self-service barriers which use data stored in a chip in biometric passports along with a photo or fingerprint taken at the time of entering the eGates to verify the passport holder's identity. Travellers undergo biometric verification using facial or iris recognition, fingerprints, or a combination of modalities. After the identification process is complete and the passport holder's identity is verified, a physical barrier such as a gate or turnstile opens to permit passage. If the passport holder's identification is not verified or if the system malfunctions, then the gate or turnstile does not open and an immigration officer will meet the person. E-gates came about in the early 2000s as an automated method of reading the then-newly ICAO-mandated e-passports.
