Korean Investigation Agency Buys Facial Biometric System
Seoul,- Animetrics, a leading developer of 2D to 3D imaging for facial biometric systems, today announced that the National Institute of Scientific Investigation (NISI), the "CSI" of the Republic of Korea, has purchased Animetrics' Forensica(TM) and Animetrics90 FaceWatch facial recognition biometric products.
NISI's research and development group initiated a project to exploit Animetrics 2D to 3D technology and capabilities for both face recognition biometrics and for face creation and computer visualization applications. NISI is well known in Korea for advancing the law enforcement use and capabilities of forensic science.
"The opportunity to have a state of the art forensic investigation agency explore the capabilities of Animertrics is both an honor and a testimony to the applications our technologies are now enabling," said Paul Schuepp, CEO of Animetrics.
NISI selected Animetrics' products because of the biometric accuracy and stunning 3D synthesis of faces created from only a single photograph. "The potential use for police agencies that find and attempt to identify suspects would be a giant step forward in the investigation process," said NISI lead forensic scientist, Dr. J. Lee.
