Imagis Technologies Inc - News Release Imagis to push ID-2000 system in U.S. airports Imagis Technologies Inc NAB Shares issued 12,865,965 Sep 24 2001 close $1.640 Tuesday Sep 25 2001 News Release Mr. Iain Drummond reports A number of U.S. government agencies and system integrators are advising Imagis Technologies that facial recognition will be used as the dominant new technology in airport security in the United States. In building on the success of its facial recognition installation at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, Imagis will focus its development in providing technology for federal intelligence agencies, airports, airlines and related law enforcement entities to enhance air travel security. "We have been developing our technology for over three years now, and have a number of operating installations in Canada and the U.S.," commented Iain Drummond, Imagis president and chief executive officer. "ID-2000 provides a number of features that are not available in any other facial recognition system today. ID-2000 recognizes not only faces but other images such as jewellery, clothes, scars and tattoos. "For example, if you were a passenger going from the check-in counter to the gate," said Mr. Drummond, "your face and also your appearance can be used to confirm your identity. All of these tools are designed to minimize delays to the travelling public, while identifying individuals who match known threats, thus preventing high security-risk individuals from boarding any aircraft. It's important to add that our technology can, in seconds, scan millions of database records," concluded Mr. Drummond. The Imagis ID-2000 solution is easily installed at a number of points in the check-in to take-off process. These locations include airline counters, security checkpoints, departure gates and jetways, all presenting unobtrusive opportunities to capture and compare an individual's face against a database. In addition ID-2000 provides a number of administrative support functions such as verification of employee identity and facilities control
