3D Scanning for Biometric Identification and Verification

Reliable and robust identification and verification of individuals is critical to homeland security applications such as surveillance, authorization for entry to secure areas, and passport identity verification. Traditional biometrics, such as mug shots, fingerprints, and voice recognition, have been used with some success. However, they exhibit serious disadvantages for some tasks. These three biometrics, for example, are problematic for surveillance (identification); even the traditional mug shot is difficult to use in automated surveillance applications because many factors, such as lighting and frontal visibility, cannot be controlled.
