Fingerprint / Palmprint Scanners

Fingerprint (4-4-2) and Palmprint scanners have been synonymous with industry-leading, high-quality palm and fingerprint image acquisition. The palm print scanner produces excellent level 2 and level 3 details, resulting in the best possible match rates. The biometric system has a precision optical block and an image sensor that was designed specifically to deliver the highest resolution images on the market. The result produces astonishingly minute details, supporting improved “lights out” search performance and latent examination capabilities.

Proprietary features enable acquisition of palm print images regardless of positioning on the platen, while patented auto-capture functionality ensures rapid capture of high-quality images—allowing booking officers to focus on safety while our systems ensure sequencing, positioning and print quality. Simplified and automated capture minimizes rejections due to poor print quality.

Key Benefits:

Rapid and error-free image capture with Auto-Capturing feature
Increase efficiency to automatically capture fingerprints and palms regardless of positioning on the platen
Reliable, superior image quality in either 500 PPI or 1000 PPI resolution
Reduce capture time with intuitive user guidance and smart buttons
Optional components: Silicone membrane for dry fingers, cleaning kit, foot pedal, adaptor for Livescan Cabinet
SDK: (included)

Ballistics & Firearms Database

It is a modern powerful ballistics database management system to automate the whole procedure of examination of bullets, cartridge cases and their fragments: from enrollment and creation of electronic database, matching and split-screen verification to the results of side-by-side comparisons.

KEY FEATURES:

Creating automated databases for rifled firearms
Creating automated databases for fired bullets and cartridge cases seized at crime scenes
Computerizing searches against databases based on matching score
Comparing bullets or cartridge cases side-by-side

Surface Scanners for Scanning Bullets/Cartridges

Automatic scanning of bullets, cases & fragments and creation of their images.
No size or shape constraints for bullets/cartridge cases
No restrictions on initial orientation of the cartridge case when scanning its head surface
Dynamic adjustment of the scanning speed reduces the scanning time.
Easy and intuitive to use

High Quality Image Processing For Ballistics

The scanner uses several diverse modes for illuminating objects.
Side surfaces of bullets and cartridge cases, fragmented shells and deformed bullets are scanned using oblique (indirect) lighting,
Heads of cartridge cases are scanned using the following lighting conditions:
direct and diffuse ring lighting,
45°-sectored lighting at different angles.

Features & Applications

HOW IT WORKS:

Functional components :

Receive image input
Isolate individual graphical objects in the image
Classify these objects based on their similarity to writers in the watch list
Compute a score representing how well the writers match with the captured document

WORKING MODULES:

The database system consists of two modules:

i. Database Builder Ingests reference writing samples and builds a database of “biometric kernels“ which represent the features extracted from the reference samples that discriminate writers from each other.

Matcher uses this database to process questioned documents and identify the writer in the database who best matches the questioned document.

Handwriting Examination & Writer Identification System (HEWIS)

I.Forensic Language-Independent Analysis System for Handwriting Identification

II.Maintains a database of information derived from “reference” handwriting

III.Determines whether a new, unidentified writing specimen such as a questioned document matches any of the writings in the database.

Voice Recognition

The solution enables the recognition of suspect/criminals from their voice characteristics by extracting identifiers that are speaker specific.

From these features a statistical model commonly called a voice print or a voice signature is built through which speaker is identified in a database having voice profiles.

How it Works?

When comparing new audio, e.g. authenticating a person against their previously enrolled voice print, and a similarity measure is obtained through pattern matching, the value of which indicates a pass or fail while doing the voice verification in a database

Features and Advantages of SRVIS

ØIt can work with any voice, any dialect, and with very small utterances (as little as 0.5 sec).

ØThe VoiceID engine processes audio utterances to extract certain features (characteristics that are speaker specific) fed in a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to create a speaker model.

ØDuring authentication, a person’s voice is pattern matched with the speaker models, the value of which indicates a pass or fail.

ØIt also has artificial voice detection (Deepfake) and anti-spoofing (Replay attack) detection modules.

NIST Certification:

The SRVIS Solution has participated in the prestigious US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Speaker Recognition Evaluation got excellent ranking in Voice Biometric Solution.

Face Recognition

The main objective of this tool is to recognize the suspect images by enhancing the evidence images and videos by applying various filters or enhancing its quality, thus allowing the user to perform analytics to search and match the identity of the person of interest. The sample method for image enhancement and recognition tool working in real world FRS is described as follows:

1.Metadata Extraction: Basic metadata like Author, Size, Extension, DPI and resolution would be extracted in case of images and metadata like CCTV Camera ID, FPS, Resolution, Geo location would be extracted in case of live feeds and videos.

2.Image resampling and resizing: System will resize and resample images using effective algorithms to ensure faster processing and computation speeds without compromising on the accuracy. System can be configured to use different type of algorithms like Bilinear, Bicubic, Nearest-Neighbor Interpolation, Mipmap, Box Sampling etc.

3.Color Adjustment: Necessary color adjustments will be done as part of pre-processing activities to aid in better understanding of images.

4.Forensic Report: The FRS generates the match reports which is customized for court presentations as per the defined report format by FSLs.

Social Media Identity Location and Extraction System (SMILES)

The SMILES (Social Media Identity Location and Extraction System) is a automated toolset that automatically harvest bIometric information from multimedia data. Input into SMILES takes the form of videos, images or documents in all standard formats and the system outputs EBTS files containing the biometric content to support analysis.

Unstructured Data

Making Unstructured Data Usable

The mainstay of biometric collection is captured structured data using biometric appliances. The amount of structured biometric data is diminutive compared to the amount of unstructured data available through sources such as social media, Internet sites, CCTV camera, Body Cams and the like.
