U.S. Army and the High Speed Portable Portal Iris Scan

Sarnoff Corporation today announced it has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to develop and demonstrate a high speed biometric capture technology solution for iris-based identification. The system will be designed to be ruggedized for field use and quickly deployable.
The new iris recognition system will leverage Sarnoff's patent-pending Iris on the Move(R) (IOM) technology for fast and reliable identification. IOM is a proven biometric identification system that quickly captures the iris image of a person in motion. The technology is ideally suited for force protection, civil-military operations, and combat situations.

Iris on the Move is available in three unique configurations that fit a wide range of applications.

  • Portal System: With a throughput speed of 30 people per minute, the Portal suits applications that require the processing of large numbers of people in a short amount of time
  • Drive-Through System: Using Pan-Tilt-Zoom technology to capture iris images at varying heights, this system eliminates the need for drivers to exit their vehicles
  • Compact System: With a miniaturized design, the system is idea for areas where space is an issue while still maintaining the ability to capture iris images from moving subjects
