Light and sounds key to high-quality photos...
The Defense Science Technology Organization “(DSTO)” is running facial credit trials which will underpin biometric initiatives across the Department of Defense, Immigration and Latest smart card driver's licenses.
The organization has toyed with so called ‘attractors’ counting signs or noise-emitting devices that draw the attention of passers-by so they inadvertently look directly into a camera.
Angles of image capture is one of the biggest shortcomings of facial recognition devices, which often must be obfuscated yet be capable of taking a straight photo.
DSTO senior biometric systems analyst Brett McLindin told a Biometrics Institue conference today the trials will focus on the connections between humans and biometric devices, somewhat than the technology itself.
McLindin said "We are looking for generic results on human interactions, not just lab results. This will be used by the whole gammut of government".
