Sagem Morpho wins Biometric Identification Technology Award

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Tacoma, Wash.-based Sagem Morpho received the “Best Biometric Identification Technology” award for its MorphoFace Investigate (MFI) system. Sagem’s MFI is a facial recognition application including case evidence management, biometric matching and forensic evaluation tools for investigative and crime solving tasks.

“MorphoFace Investigate received the Best Biometric Technology award for its ability to work with degraded images, even those containing obscured or partial faces and still find a match – it’s exactly the type of evidence law enforcement and intelligence personnel regularly retrieve,” said Walter Hamilton, an Expo Judge and Chairman of the International Biometric Industry Association. [end]
