US 2012/0056714 A1 · BIOMETRIC VISITOR CHECK SYSTEM

Abstract

A system for biometric exclusion of certain individuals from entering a facility. A biometric exclusion system may use biometric acquisition and matching and a database to screen a large population of subjects by looking for individuals enrolled in a database. A screening approach may be used to match biometrics having sufficient quality of any individuals attempting to enter the facility, relative to biometrics of individuals stored in the database. A biometric, such as that of a face or an iris, of an individual may be obtained with the individual's knowledge or cooperation. The database may have biographical information pertinent to an individual having a biometric in the database. There may be an associated system which may be used to enroll individuals by entering their biometrics in the database.

A method for checking visitors comprising:

detecting a subject attempting to enter a facility;
acquiring a biometric signal from the subject;
extracting a biometric of the subject from the biometric signal;
and
performing a quality measure on the biometric to determine whether the quality of the biometric is sufficient for matching to another like biometric;
and
wherein if the quality measure of the biometric is acceptable, then a biometric, which matches the biometric of the subject, is looked for in a biometric database to determine whether the subject can be admitted to the facility.
