The Challenge

Return of expelled foreigners

Foreigner “X” expelled from UAE

Foreigner“X” returns to UAE

3

Foreign Country

Foreigner“X” changes name and issues new passport

Analysis

Traditional computer lists depends on:

– Name, passport#, DoB, etc...

Information can be changed after expulsion

– Obtain different passport, new nationality …

Expelled person is back in the country!


Our Need

A Biometric System to scan all incoming arrivals (with new visas) and to tell us if person was expelled before?


Biometric Specifications

A Biometric that:

– Can identify a single person from a large population of

people.

– Does not change over time.

– Fast to acquire and easy to use.

– Can respond in real-time needed for mass transit locations

(Airports.)

– Safe and non-invasive (disease control)

– Can scale in millions and maintain top performance.

– Is affordable.


The Solution


Iris Recognition Technology

Our research led us to IRT

Iris Recognition is the only technology that

produces a single person match out of a very

large population in real-time.


What is IRIS?

Iris

قزحية العين

Cornea

قرنية العين

Retina

شبكية العين


Why IRIS?

Human IRIS formed by 6-9 months of age and

remains unchanged

Accuracy & Uniqueness: the probability of two

IRIS producing the same code is minimal

compared to other biometrics.


Why IRIS?

Fast: > 500K comparisons per sec.

Safe: contact less

Convenience: works with sunglasses, sore eyes, contact-lenses

Intelligent: eye must be live!
