Cognitec Supplies Biometric Camera Devices and Related Services to Department of Home Affairs in Australia

Cognitec Systems Pty Ltd is working with Home Affairs Australia to deliver 250 camera devices for facial image capture, image quality check, and traveler identity verification at all major international airports in Australia.

With approximately 41 million international travelers entering and leaving Australia each year, the Department uses facial biometrics to collect and electronically verify the identity of eligible international travelers.

Cognitec’s capture device, FaceVACS-Entry, detects the person’s height, automatically adjusts the camera position to capture a frontal pose photo, and uses automated face recognition to verify person identity.

Cognitec is also providing integration software, mounting hardware, device installation services, as well as ongoing support and maintenance services for all Cognitec hardware and software systems.

“Cognitec is proud to continue a successful relationship with the Department of Home Affairs, and to deliver our technology for quick collection of biometric photos and for accurate traveler verification at the Australian border primary lines,” says Terry Hartmann, Cognitec’s Vice President Asia Pacific. “This project contributes to the security and ongoing digitization of the Australian border, ensuring trusted traveler identities.”

FaceVACS-Entry is used by governments worldwide for applications that require the acquisition of standards-compliant photos, and the verification of a live image against reference images, such as access control, border control, and entry/exit programs.
