Live-ID is an automated method of comparing live fingerprints to a database of stored prints.
An
individual only needs to place his/her finger on a glass platen of an
optical reader. There is no ink, no mess, no fingerprint expert required
to operate the system. The system will make positive identifications
automatically. The newly scanned image can be used to enroll the
individual into a database and complete a one-to-many search of the
database to prevent a person from being enrolled more than once. The
system will also allow a one-to-one comparison of existing fingerprint
records to verify the identity of a person.
Live-ID can be used in:
- Preventing unauthorized individuals access to restricted information
- Eliminating duplicate entries
- Quickly identifying an individual
Live-ID
products have been used by Government Social Service Agencies to eliminate
welfare fraud, Immigration Services to track down wanted illegal aliens,
and the Department of the Defense to control refugee and illegal
immigrants. Live-ID runs on both UNIX workstations and Windows based PCs.
