UAE to protect country entry with face biometrics
Starting with the international airport in the country’s capital, Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates has started installation of a new biometric security system at all points of entry to their country, according to a Hindustan Times article.
The new system works off of face recognition biometrics and will identify all those entering the country from a distance without their active participation through a series of cameras capturing footage of people.
By comparing certain facial features captured by the cameras with those on a database, the UAE should be able to verify threats before they are problematic.
The system identifies individuals through a number of facial features including eyes, nose, cheekbones and jaw shape, size and position; additionally, it can verify an identity from a number of camera angles including profile.
