How is Face Recognition
Technology used in the Ports & Terminals Industry?
In the last couple of years, ports and terminals
have had to review their security operations, and start looking towards
compliance with the new International Shipping and Ports Security
(ISPS) code - brought in following 9’11 and the resulting terrorist
and security threats. Facial recognition has been in operation in
this industry since 1999, and now a number of port operators are
looking to implement the technology to tighten up their security
measures.
There are two potential uses of ‘FaceRec’ in support
of the ISPS code:
verification
of staff, contractors, ship passengers etc, both to prevent
identity fraud, and
to provide accurate information as to who is on site / on
board at any one time.
carrying out identification checks
(using facial recognition) of new or unannounced personnel arriving at the
site against a watch-list of known
terrorist or criminal elements
