      Imagis ID-2000 biometric facial recognition technology has one-of-a-kind features for identifying faces & images

      VANCOUVER, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ - (OTCBB: IGSTF; CDNX: NAB; Germany: IGY) Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis"), a leading biometric facial recognition company, reports that a number of U.S. government agencies and system integrators are advising the company 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 & CEO. "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 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 traveling 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 jet-ways, 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. About IMAGIS

      Imagis is a developer and marketer of advanced biometric-based software applications for customs and immigration, law enforcement, airports, criminal justice, access control and individual identification. Imagis has installations of its biometric facial recognition technology at Toronto`s Pearson Airport, in several RCMP detachments in Canada and in numerous cities in the state of California, and Mexico. Imagis markets its products through a network of Business Partners located in North America, Asia, Europe and Latin America. Imagis` Chairman is Oliver "Buck" Revell, who served for over 30 years in the FBI and during his career advanced to the number two-career post of Associate Deputy Director. www.imagistechnologies.com

      Note to Editors: Imagis ID-2000 uses over 200 facial descriptors generated from its own sophisticated image analysis algorithms to create a unique identifier for a face. ID-2000 allows an individual in a database to be identified in seconds, using either digital input, scanned photographs, composite construction or direct camera input as the search criterion. Imagis products are designed to an open architecture and address a range of imaging needs in the security area, including arrest & booking, regional data-sharing, wireless image transfer, and facial recognition. ID-2000 can connect securely to local, regional, national, and international databases, and is key in identification of individuals with multiple aliases. Extensive linkages enable the database to be mined to display details of aliases, associates, and vehicles as well as images of other distinguishing features such as marks, scars, and tattoos.

      Die Aktie von Imagis Technologies ist allein schon wegen der geringen Größe des Unternehmens-die Marktkapitallisierung beträgt derzeit weniger als 14 Miolionen US-Dollar-als äußerst spekulativ anzusehen.

      Security experts eye Vancouver company`s facial recognition product
      Jim Jamieson
      The Province
      Wednesday, September 26, 2001

      The next time you check in for a flight at the airport, the procedure will very likely include having your picture taken.

      While that system might not be in place next week or next month, the highjacking and terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 have airlines -- principally in the U.S., but also in other parts of the world -- scrambling to beef up security and demonstrate to the public that the skies are safe.

      One of the companies positioned to benefit from this increased demand for security is Vancouver-based Imagis Technologies Inc., which has developed and is already in the market with a facial recognition software that can recognize bad guys if their picture is contained in a database.

      Imagis is one of a few North American companies -- New Jersey-based Visionics and Viisage Technology of Littleton, Mass., are the U.S. industry leaders while Toronto`s AcSys Biometrics is another Canadian player -- that are working in the facial recognition area of biometrics.

      Even before the Sept. 11 disasters, analysts were predicting that the biometrics industry will reach $520 million US by 2006.

      "Our phone has been ringing off the hook since Sept. 11," says Imagis president Iain Drummond.

      "Contact has been from all over the world, but primarily focused on the U.S. and always on airport security. The feeling in the U.S. is that to get traveller confidence up, customers need to know that wanted people are not going to get on planes."

      Drummond says the airport security industry is keen on a system that would allow airlines to check a passenger`s face with a criminal database upon check-in and then allow a follow up when the passenger arrives at the gate.

      "Typically, it would be distributed across each check-in desk, so that there`s a camera over the shoulder of each agent."

      "We take that shot automatically, it goes to the central server and that face is captured, encoded and matched against the database. When it detects a potential match, airport security is notified."

      Drummond says that once the picture is taken, it would be linked electronically to the boarding pass so the the official at the gate can call up the image to make sure the passenger is the same person who checked in.

      "This type of system is not installed as yet any place, but it`s the kind of thing we`ve been getting requests about," he says.

      "It`s all doable right now and, clearly, there`s a fair amount of expense involved, but some of these airports are losing a million dollars a day."

      Imagis started as a satellite image processing company, but six years ago the RCMP asked them if they could create a database for mug shots, fingerprints, and other information. Adding an image search capability grew out of the project.

      The technology uses the eyes and the tip of the nose as three anchors and then maps 200 points to come up with a unique digital "fingerprint" of a person`s features.

      The software ignores such appearance-changing techniques as growing or cutting a beard or hair.

      Currently, their technology is mostly used by law enforcement organizations -- North Vancouver RCMP is a customer -- to identify suspects after they have been arrested or by casinos to catch banned players.

      Although there have been attempts at using facial recognition technology to scan crowds for suspected terrorists -- authorities used it last February at the Super Bowl game in Tampa and law enforcement officials in Europe have used it to identify convicted soccer hooligans -- Drummond says the logistics are daunting.

      "To do it properly, it`s quite difficult. Even if you found some criminal in the crowd the logistics of actually catching him are very difficult."

      TECHNOLOGY HAS HUGE MARKET POTENTIAL

      Facial recognition, once the stuff of science fiction, has actually been around for about a decade at the research level and been used commercially for about five years.

      The technology`s attraction is that it`s cheaper and logistically simpler than other types of biometrics, such as finger printing or iris scanning. It is also less intrusive, simply requiring the subject to allow a picture to be taken.

      Analysts see a huge market potential for facial recognition, particularly in the area of physical access control, where it can take the place of access codes and swipe cards.
