San Diego, Calif.–based ImageWare Systems has been awarded a patent for its multi-modal biometric fusion and analysis technology. This patent describes a multi-modal method, called biometric fusion, which combines biometric search results on multiple biometric identification markers to be brought together into a single result with a higher level of accuracy and reliability. The patent, titled “Multimodal Biometric Analysis,” is employed throughout ImageWare’s portfolio of biometric identity management solutions and marketed under the IWS Biometric Engine product suite.
This patent joins another recently received ImageWare patent for a multi-modal biometric identification and authentication system. This foundational patent describes a system or method for enrolling, searching, matching, and managing biometric modalities on a common platform, and is independent to the biometric types or the algorithms managed. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/thirdfactor-4.gif)
