Imagis Closes Private Placement Financing in the amount of $3,595,720


Moin Leute !

da es noch keiner getan hat, möchte ich auf die letzte Nachricht von Imagis vom 9.November 2001 aufmerksam machen und in Zukunft auch auf neue interessante News.

Bei einer M.-Kap. von ca. 20 Mio $, ist die abgeschlossene Finanzmittelbereitstellung von 3,6 Mio. $ schon eine ganz nette Number. Und das zu Kursen von über 2,17 $ bzw. 2,55 $ pro Aktie.

Meiner Meinung nach nur ein weiteres INdiz dafür, dass das Noch-Micro-Unternehmen auf dem besten Weg ist, Nutzen aus der veränderten Sicherheitslage auf dem Weltmarkt zu ziehen (,denn für Wachstum braucht man Geld). Anscheinend ist die Technologie von Imagis im Moment sehr attraktiv.

Das sieht nach starken künftigen Wachstum und ebenso Chancen aus.

Bis dann, Hokieburger !

Man schaue sich auch die letzten News von Imagis an ! Lohnt sich !!!

[Hokieburger]

Im übrigen hat der kurzfristige Kursverlauf einen grünen Pivot-Punkt erzeugt, der als technische Kauf-Empfehlung interpretiert werden kann:

[Frührentner!!!]

Bitte nicht täuschen lassen: Die 2,17$ bzw 2,55$ sind KANADISCHE DOLLAR!! Der Umrechnungskurs liegt also bei 1,51€ bzw 1,78€, ist aber auch nicht schlecht.
An den positiven Expansions-Aussichten von Imagis habe ich allerdings nichts auszusetzen!

[Hokieburger]

Ooops ! I`ve forgotten to tell ya `bout the canadian dollars instead of us-dollars. Sorry `bout that !
But the story is still convincing !

[ELmarco]

hi leutz,
hab letztens einen bericht gesehen, dass kanada wohl für terroristen eine art rückzugsort für terroristen ist, aufgrund der lockeren einwanderungsgesetze, nun einen flughafen hat imagis schon ausgestattet....frage: wieviele grössere flughäfen gibt es in kanada? denn dort musste imagis doch das rennen machen!
gruss an alle..
ps:war jersey nicht auch auf ians reiseroute....??????
das ist wohl sowas wie ein schlag ins gesicht!

[Hokieburger]

Moin !

Kleine aber feine Anmerkung:

1. Es gibt neben der Ausstattung des Toronto Pearson Airport auch einen Vertrag für den Oakland International Airport, diesen mit der Imagis Technologie auszustatten ( mit einem Volumen von 2,6 Mio. US-$.).

2. Es gibt eine Vereinbarung mit Data911, die die Kooperation in sämtlichen Sicherheitsaspekten auf allen US-Airports vorsieht. Danach öffnet sich für Imagis auch der amerikanische "Flughafen-Markt".

Wir dürfen also gespannt sein, ob sich die Rundtour des Herrn Drummond in den USA gelohnt hat.

(man achte auch auf Donnerstag, 29. Nov. um 14.05 Uhr - für die Phantasie)

Gruss, Hokieburger !

[ELmarco]

hi hookie,
hab nur von kanadischen flughäfen geredet, trotzdem danke für die ergänzung...es gibt aber noch sehr viel mehr und wichtigere zusammenarbeiten...zb bull in uk...sowie kooperationen in asien, die mir, neben der von dir genannten, als die wohl vielleicht wichtigste erscheint.
jedenfalls viel glück allen!

[Hokieburger]

Moin !

Leider ist mit der Generierung eines roten Pivot-Punktes nun kurzfristig mit fallenden Kursen zu rechnen. Das kann sich aber wieder relativ schnell ändern und ansonsten bleibt die IMAGIS für risikobereite Anleger interessant.

Bis dahin, Hokieburger !

[Mr. Aktie]

Sieht ja nicht so gut aus heute, vielleicht steigen jetzt viele aus, weil sie den Krieg zu Ende gehen sehen?!
Doch auch wenn der Krieg vorerst ein Ende findet, die Sicherheit sollte doch oberstes Gebot sein, oder?
Angst vor Terror wird es immer wieder geben!

Visionics hält heute einen Vortrag vorm Kongreß glaube ich, ob dann weiter in Sachen Gesichtserkennung investiert wird, wird man abwarten müssen!

Ich denke mal, bzw. hoffe mal, dass Imagis noch was in der Pipeline hat, ansonsten sehen wir bald wieder die 1 Eurolinie.

Gruß
Mr. Aktie

[kopfeck]

das ende !?

da müßten jetzt schon gewaltig gute news kommen um wieder
richtung norden zu gehen.
wenn es imagis in zeiten wo sicherheit gefragt ist wie nie
nicht schafft wann dann ????
ich denke das die zeit jetzt gegen uns arbeitet ,denn desto
ruhiger es um den "terror" wird desto weniger geld wird mann für sicherheit ausgeben.

oder wie ist eure meinung



gruß kopfeck

[kopfeck]

oder haben da einige ihre gewinne realisiert ,es wahren und sind sicher noch einige mit 100% und mehr gewinn drin


kopfeck

[Mr. Aktie]

Also einzig das Umsatzvolumen stimmt mich positiv, da scheinen einige auch wieder richtig einzusammeln.
Ferner stellt sich die Frage, warum steigen da so viele aus? Auch bei 100 % Gewinn! Warum nicht auf 200 % warten?
Der der die Kapitalmaßnahme vollzogen hat, wird sich den Kurs aber auch nicht weiter vermasseln lassen!

Die Anhörung im Senat zum Thema Flughafensicherheit, wie o. schon erwähnt, mit dem CEO von Visionics, sollte dazu beitragen, dass die erforderliche Summe zur Flughafenabsicherung, die Zustimmung erhält!

Schaun mer mal...

[Mr. Aktie]

Deutschland fährt nun doch zur WM...
Hipp, Hipp Hurraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Doch mit Imagis stimmt was nicht mehr, 1,73 CDN!!!

Diesmal hat Imagis als Einziger der Sparte Federn gelassen!

Na ja, selber schuld, bei 2 Euro nicht verkauft zu haben!

Morgen wird mein SL erreicht, und dann ist Feierabend mit Imagis!

Schade, schade, schade...

Ein Kopf schüttelnder
Mr.Aktie

[Mr. Aktie]

1,68 CDN!!!

Ich hab die Faxen dicke, ich geh mit 15% Plus raus, bei dem Laden stimmt etwas nicht!

Morgen kann einer mein Paket einsammeln...

Allen anderen viel Glück!

Tschau
Mr. Aktie

[Mr. Aktie]

Vielleicht liegt es aber auch daran, doch leider kann ich die Sache nicht so auseinanderlegen!

IMAGIS TECHNOLOGIES INC files Form 10QSB, Quarterly Report of Financial Condition
http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/quotes_news.asp?symbol=IGSTF&selec…

[Hokieburger]

Moin !

Wahrhaftig ist der quarterly report nicht sonderlich gut ausgefallen, obwohl es einige Punkte gibt, die dennoch positiv sind:

1. Der Umsatz (1,36 Mio) für die letzten neun Monate bis zum 30.09.2001 hat sich mehr als verdoppelt, während die Kosten (2,94 Mio.) fast gleich geblieben sind.

2. Die Cash-Position wird sich wieder stark verbessern. So sind ca. 4,7 Mio. Cash-Inflows durch Aktienausgabe nach dem 30. Sept. angefallen.

3.Die finanzielle Lage ist für mind. ein weiteres Jahr gesichert (lt. Imagis).

Man kann also noch darauf spekulieren, dass sich die operating activities im Moment stark erhöhen. Das ist unsere Chance.

Wenn ich einen Tip abgeben sollte, würde ich sagen, dass die gestrige Korrektur sich wieder nach oben ausgleichen wird, da ich die Reaktion der Anleger/Institutions für überzogen halte. Denn eigentlich war kein anderer quarterly report zu erwarten.

Bis bald, Hokieburger

[Frührentner!!!]

Ich kann die Reaktion auf den Report nicht verstehen. Die Zahlen sind erstens nicht derart schlecht und haben zweitens fast nichts mit den veränderten weltweiten Rahmenbedingungen zu tun. Die letzten Aufträge und vor allen Dingen die zu erwartenden Aufträge (dazu gibt es ja wohl berechtigte Hoffnungen) sind überhaupt nicht in diesem Report berücksichtigt. Ich vertrete weiterhin die Meinung, dass Imagis in 2002 zumindest die 2€ dauerhaft hinter sich lassen wird. Aufgrund der veränderten Bedingungen wird es keinen Weg zurück zu den alten Kursen unter 1€ geben!

[kopfeck]

guten morgen


sollte der gestrige "absturz" wirklich an den zahlen
gelegen haben ,dann finde ich das ganze nicht so schlimm
denn die zahlen werden sich mit neuen aufträgen bessern

wird wohl eine mischung "schlechte zahlen/gewinnmitnahmen"
gewesen sein.

und bei den hohen umsatz haben ja einige auch wider fleißig
eingesammelt.

ich bin zwar nicht mehr ganz so optimistisch ,da ich eigentlich kurzfristig geplant habe ,aber was solls dann
behalte ich imagis einfach länger und da ist sicher noch einigen möglich ( hoffe ich )

auf lange sicht sind das gute einstigskurse ,aber leider habe ich zur zeit kein casch frei

[mariogue]

Hallo,

vielleicht kommt noch dazu,

das jetzt nach dem Schein Zusammenbruch
der Taliban und die Stimmung
für Sicherheit und Terror
abnimmt.
Was wahrscheinlich täuscht.
Ich kann mir noch nicht
so richtig vorstellen
das imagis mit aufträgen leer
ausgeht, doch langsam krieg ich
die Muffe
cia

[Frührentner!!!]

Stop! Hier entsteht plötzlich der Eindruck, dass Imagis nach den Anschlägen leer ausgegangen ist, das ist nicht so!! Ich möchte hier nicht auf jede einzelne ADHOC eingehen, die kann jeder gerne unter http://www.imagis-cascade.com/Pages/news.html nachlesen. Keine Panik, die Auftragseingänge in den letzten 2 Monaten haben sehr stark zugelegt!!

[eistoni]

ich habe heute einige verkauft irgendwie stimmt da was nicht

[aaahhh]

Vor einigen Wochen habe ich schon gepostet,daß Imagis schon
die letzten Jahre immer Probleme hatte sein durchaus gutes
Produkt an den Mann zubringen. Scheinen auch diesmal wieder zu entäuschen.

[mariogue]

hallo,

momentan in Kanada
1.77/1.77
schluss gestern 1.70

vielleicht war das gestern
ein scheiss tag
und das geht
wenigstens wieder
auf 1.5 Euro rauf

unter www.stockwatch.com
und danach dann
auf Suchen nach
NAB seht ihr die Kurse

[Mr. Aktie]

@mariogue,
der vorbörsliche Kurs ist nie der wirklich gehandelte!!!
Manchmal startet der Wert dann 4-5 Cents billiger, manchmal auch höher.
Doch seit geraumer Zeit habe ich festgestellt, daß es sich nicht lohnt, den vorbörslichen Kursen Beachtung zu schenken!
Beobachte dies die nächsten Tage mal selbst :-)

Mr. Aktie

[Hokieburger]

Im Bericht von Chris Wood "The electronic eye view" gibt es die Erwähnung von Imagis. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die erneute Nennung des Ex-FBI-Mannes, der anscheinend für Aufträge von seiten des Staates / Police sorgt.

Hier eine neue News vom Dow Jones Newswire:

DJN =DJ CDNX FOCUS: Imagis Tech Aiming At Biometrics Big Leagues

Industry: ICS ISO ITC SOF SVC XISL
Subject: DJN DJWI CNW DJS DJSS DJWB UKMR WEI XCH

By Lynne Olver
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

VANCOUVER (Dow Jones)--Imagis Technologies Inc. (V.NAB) stock has drifted down from its October peak, but the developer of facial-recognition software is still riding a post-Sept. 11 wave due to heightened security concerns. The Vancouver company, a Tier 2 listing on the Canadian Venture Exchange, recently concluded a C$3.6 million private placement, and has sufficient cash for "at least a year," president and chief executive, Iain Drummond, told Dow Jones.

With increased interest in airport security expected to translate into orders and sales, Drummond said Imagis should break even in mid-2002. The company hopes to obtain a listing on either the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, he said. In addition to the CDNX, its shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board (IGSTF) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The three-year-old company lost C$3 million in 2000, or 26 Canadian cents a share under Canadian GAAP. Using U.S. GAAP, the loss was C$4.7 million or 41Canadian cents a share. In the nine months to Sept. 30, Imagis lost C$1.6 million or 11 Canadian cents a share under Canadian GAAP, down from C$2.3 million or 20 Canadian cents a share a year earlier. The year-to-date loss under U.S. GAAP was C$1.7 million or 12 Canadian cents a share.

Investors snapped up shares of North American security-services companies after the terrorist attacks on the U.S. The price of Imagis shares on the CDNX shot from 63 Canadian cents on Sept. 10 to a 52-week high of C$2.95 on Oct. 18. The stock is trading at C$2.27 Wednesday morning. The sector is still volatile, as shown by the 42% rise in U.S. biometrics company Visionics Corp. (VSNX) on Monday. After announcing a facial-recognition development and marketing deal with defense company Raytheon Co. (RTN), Visionics shares soared to US$18.08 Monday but fell to US$15.13 Tuesday.

Imagis Says Its Products Are Better

Drummond said Imagis`s biometric technology is superior to its competitors because it collects more data, some 200 features, and employs more advanced mathematics. "A feature in this sense is typically a curve, it`s where the light is changing," he said. "It could be something like the hollow of the cheek, the shape and size of the nose, the curvature of the eye socket," Drummond said. "Our main competitor picks off 14 points, for instance, so we`re capturing well over 10 times the detail that they are." This means that, if a person is wearing sunglasses, Imagis has more data with which to identify the individual, Drummond said. And for very large databases, Imagis can better distinguish similar-looking individuals, he added.

The company has only 26 employees, but is growing "rapidly." It uses several business partners, including U.S. software consulting firm Orion Scientific Systems, and Serco Group PLC (U.SRP). Imagis recently said it and Serco are developing facial technology for Britain`s National Crime Squad, for use in identifying victims and perpetrators of child pornography. "They`ve asked us to deliver the complete system by the end of Q1, and we believe that`s quite practical," Drummond said. The value of the contract wasn`t disclosed, but he said the intent is that the same system will be used in other G8 and Interpol countries. Drummond is also optimistic that additional Canadian funds for airport security and policing, announced in Monday`s federal government budget, could bring new government contracts. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police already use some Imagis systems, as does Toronto`s Pearson International Airport and Oakland International Airport.

Drummond played down the company`s annual losses, saying that management is investing in product development that should bring future sales. The company plans to do another financing next year to accelerate growth. "If we`re really to become a world player, which we have an opportunity to do, then that will require a greater level of investment," Drummond said.

Brian Ruttenbur, analyst with Morgan Keegan & Co. in Nashville, said that although he expects the number of companies in the sector to shrink, he feels that the top three companies with good technologies in each specialty - face, finger, or palm, for example - will survive. "I consider Imagis in that top-three category," he said. "I think it`s important for Imagis, in order to be considered an industry leader, to get additional exposure," he added. "A lot of people have never heard of them."

Kurze wichtige Statements:

..additional Canadian funds for airport security and policing, announced in Monday`s federal government budget..
=> Ich glaube schon, dass IMAGIS davon seinen Teil bekommt, da sie in Kanada schon bisher gut dabei sind und eine gewisse Kompatibilität einfach sinnvoll ist.

.. he (the analyst of Morgan Keegan & Co.) feels that the top three companies with good technologies in each specialty - face, finger, or palm, for example - will survive. "I consider Imagis in that top-three category !"

@all

Ich glaube hier sind einige nicht mehr ganz bei trost,Imagis weit unter dem umgerechneten Dollar-Kurs zu verkaufen!
Imagis steht aktuell (17.12.2001 15:49) bei 1,62 USD = 1,814 €. Wer das Teil für 1,66€ verkauft, muß ziemlich krank im Kopf sein. Jedoch mir kanns recht sein,habe schon vor ein paar Tagen viele Stücke weit unter $-Kurs hier gekauft

Imagis wird jetzt erst mal die 1,90 erreichen, um dann wieder zu konsolidieren.

Healthy Trades

Um mal wieder von Spekulationen über Kursbarrieren abzusehen, ist hier die letzte Imagis-Nachricht:

Imagis retains Boston-based Pembridge Venture Partners
January 03, 2002 08:30:00 AM ET

VANCOUVER, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; CDNX: NAB; Germany: IGY) announces that it has entered into an engagement letter with Pembridge Venture Partners ("PVP") to provide strategic financial advice. PVP is the private-equity affiliate of The Pembridge Group LP (http://www.pembridgegroup.com), a premier Boston-based investment firm ("Pembridge Group"). Pembridge Group acts as advisor to Pembridge Fund Management ("PFM") and Pembridge Venture Partners. PFM is the asset management arm of the firm and manages the Concert series of technology hedge funds and the Symphony fund-of-funds. PVP provides growth capital to formative companies in the areas of software, data-storage, networking, and the health sciences. Pembridge manages over $600,000,000 in capital, and its funds have consistently posted some of the highest returns to investors in the alternative asset management industry. Pembridge funds are eligible to accredited non-U.S. institutions only and are currently closed to new investors.

Mr. Treyton L. Thomas, Chairman of Pembridge Group and Managing Partner of PVP explained the firm`s interest in Imagis by saying, "The biometrics space offers demand and growth metrics that are extremely attractive to us. While the U.S. Congress just overwhelmingly approved a $20 billion plan to arm the United States against terrorism, enhanced domestic airport security is but one component of the Imagis growth curve. Unlike other facial recognition software, the heuristic algorithms in their technology allows for the recognition of patterns beyond the human face that can aid in criminal investigations and case preparation. While airport security garners the most media attention, there are other important international applications such as bolstering security at nuclear facilities that were integral to the former Soviet Union, global border control, and identification of child victims of appalling crimes. In a post-attack world, customer demand now dictates that the security industry deliver products that anticipate and prevent, rather than merely react. The confluence of Imagis` current valuation, gross operating margins, and parabolic growth prospects make it the most compelling investment in the biometrics sector today."

Under the terms of the engagement letter, PVP has agreed to assist the Company as one of its non-exclusive financial advisors. The activities of PVP will include providing strategic capital markets advice, including mergers, banking advisory and review of any potential investment banking relationships, strategic alliances, financing, or any other capital markets needs of the company. Imagis issued to PVP 50,000 warrants, with each warrant being exercisable into one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of CDN$2.20 per share for a period of two years.

Mr. Iain Drummond, President & CEO of Imagis, commented; "We are pleased that Pembridge supports the market opportunities for our Company and acknowledges that our facial recognition technology has significant applications in a number of sectors in security and law enforcement. With their assistance, we anticipate an increase in our Company`s profile in the investment community that will ultimately bring value to our shareholders. We look forward to our combined effort to exploit a number of strategic opportunities."

Imagis further announces that it will grant, subject to regulatory approval, 160,000 options to directors of the Company. The options are exercisable into common shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of CDN$2.20 per share for a term of five years subject to certain vesting provisions.

Abbey Group Consultants purchase Imagis photo capture system for the Orange County Probation Department

VANCOUVER, Jan 10, 2002 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; CDNX: NAB; Germany: IGY) and Abbey Group Consultants Inc. ("AGC"), a leader in public safety and criminal justice consulting and technologies, announced today that AGC has purchased Imagis photo capture and tracking system, a customized version of Imagis` Computerized Arrest and Booking System (CABS), which will serve the Orange County Probation Department in California. Abbey Group Consultants will be the prime and integrator on the project. The County`s Probation Officers will use the system for tracking individuals in their respective caseloads.
"AGC selected Imagis as a strategic development partner because of its expertise and performance in providing law enforcement solutions," said AGC`s President John D. Abbey. "As public safety consultants, as well as software developers, we believe that Imagis is emerging as a leader in the law enforcement community. Imagis may not be the largest of the so-called facial recognition companies, but we believe Imagis possesses a real, verifiable, law enforcement record, with applications in wide use in Canadian and US law enforcement agencies. We need more than a marketing organization, we need rock- solid applications with skilled development professionals maintaining state-of- the-art development and deployment, and Imagis meets these needs," Abbey said.

AGC is working closely with Imagis R&D group to develop other applications for law enforcement and security, utilizing its ID-2000 biometric facial recognition technology. AGC has introduced a regional law enforcement system that provides a multi-agency facial recognition repository, as well as inter-agency software communications, regional community policing and mapping. AGC`s Jail - Corrections Management System (JCMS) is the first system of its type to have facial recognition as an embedded component. In response to recent market demands, AGC has developed a comprehensive approach to airport and critical facility profiling and traveler/visitor tracking. Imagis ID-2000 facial recognition software is the critical component for both of these systems.

About Abbey

Since 1989, Abbey Group Consultants Inc. (AGC), based in Incline Village, Nevada, has provided consulting, software and systems to law enforcement agencies in the United States, Canada and Australia. AGC clients include Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), Arthur Andersen, MiamiDade Police and Fire, Houston Police and Fire, Chicago Police and Fire, and over 100 other public safety agencies.

Glaubt ihr, daß der Umsatz in diesem Jahr stark ansteigt ? IN welchen Größenordnungen ?

Moin !

Ich weiß nicht warum, aber wir könnten mit Imagis noch viel Freude haben. Die sind wirklich in aller Munde (in Expertenkreisen versteht sich). Der folgende Artikel ist bei NYT online zu finden. IMAGIS wird sehr hervorgehoben:

New Side to Face-Recognition Technology: Identifying Victims
By JOHN SCHWARTZ
Since Sept. 11, discussion of the disputed technology of face recognition has focused on its potential for identifying criminals and terrorists — and for invading citizens` privacy. But in England, the police are pursuing a different path: they want to use facial recognition software to identify crime victims.

Using software developed by a Canadian company, Britain`s National Crime Squad is creating a database of nearly three million pictures seized in raids of child pornography rings. By matching the images against pictures of missing children, investigators hope to find them, or at least generate clues — an unusual car or or distinctive scenery — that can help identify the people making the photos and films.

Facial recognition has been in development for decades, but recent advances in computer power and software have made the systems less expensive and more accurate — though just how accurate remains a subject of debate.

Most systems work by taking pictures of faces, comparing them to a template and making dozens of measurements of each one, including factors like the distance between the eyes. In the case of Imagis Technologies — the company in Vancouver, British Columbia, that created the software out of earlier work on recognizing patterns in satellite photographs — the program detects hundreds of "light source positions." It also measures factors like the angle of the head and facial shape, said Andy Amanovich, the company`s chief technology officer.

The mathematical description of those features is stored in a database, to be compared with other strings of numbers that have been derived from faces — and also jewelry, clothes, scars and background objects like furniture or vehicles.

No facial recognition system is perfect, or even close: all make mismatches and overly broad matches. Many can be confounded by simple subterfuges like wigs or glasses. Civil liberties and other groups say they cast too wide a net, invading privacy and extending the reach of surveillance too far.

And the technology`s credibility has not been helped, many experts agree, by exaggerated claims for its effectiveness. "These software companies have popped off numbers that they can`t really substantiate," said Ron Cadle, a vice president of Pellco Inc., which is adapting facial recognition systems for use in Fresno Yosemite International Airport. "It`s kind of given them a black eye."

Mr. Amanovich agreed. "There`s a lot of false claims out there and a lot of specious claims to what all technologies can do," he said.

Nevertheless, Mr. Cadle, who uses recognition programs from Visionics Inc. and Viisage, said his company had boosted the reliability his partners` software so that it can make a match 80 percent of the time and falsely claim a match with just 1 of every 500 passengers. Mr. Amanovich, however, said such figures are so malleable at this early stage that claims are not useful.

The British project had its origins in a 1997 sweep in which 101 members of a child pornography trading ring called Wonderland were arrested in raids around the world.

Aficionados of child pornography tend to be obsessive collectors of pictures and films, and that and other raids led to a police database of some three million images — too many for humans to sort through effectively. (Efforts to create books or CD`s by hand had yielded 1,200 identifiable faces, leading to the identification of just 18 children, one of whom had been murdered.) So in December 2000, the squad signed an agreement with a contractor, Serco Group, to automate the rest of the process. Serco turned to Imagis.

Peter Spindler, a detective superintendent with the National Crime Squad, says he has been impressed with early results. The software was able to identify images from a test database — not just images of children, but also of siblings. The feature could could help identify families participating in the porn trade.

But one expert in child pornography said the British efforts was "not going to do much."

Dr. John Philip Jenkins, a professor of history at Penn State and author of "Beyond Tolerance: Child Pornography on the Internet," said child pornography photos were unlikely to lead investigators to the children involved. A child victim`s identity, he said, "is only likely to come to light if the child comes up in an abuse case."

Many of the images, he added, now flow from the former Soviet Union, where lax enforcement allowed the trade to flourish. There, he said "police corruption is going to limit the effectiveness of any attempt to use this technology" successfully.

He called for international efforts to crush online image trading.

But Detective Spindler said the police had to try to do more than restrict the traffic in illicit images. "It`s not simply about identifying people who are abusing the Internet, people who are trading child pornography," he said. "This is about people abusing children."

UK`s National Crime Squad Purchases Imagis Technologies` Biometric Facial Recognition Solution


Solution Supports International Efforts to Fight Online Child Pornography by Improving Victim and Criminal Identification Capabilities

VANCOUVER, Jan 22, 2002 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Imagis Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: IGSTF; CDNX: NAB; Germany: IGY) ("Imagis") today announced that the National Crime Squad ("NCS") has purchased a biometric facial recognition solution based on Imagis` ID-2000(TM) software, through Serco Plc ("Serco"), an international provider of management services to government and a business partner of Imagis. NCS, which paid over CDN$1 million for the software, intends to use the technology to crack down on international online child pornography.
The solution was developed by Imagis, in conjunction with Serco, to fight online child pornography and identify missing children. It extends the use of Imagis` recognition technology, ID-2000, to the identification of non-facial objects in background imagery and personally identifiable markings, such as tattoos. The ability of law enforcement agencies to identify background imagery as well as victims and perpetrators is an important factor in preparing for and solving missing persons investigations.

"Imagis has always worked closely with law enforcement to optimize the design of our facial recognition technology. Our work with the NCS has been the basis for the development of an accurate and efficient means to fight this international crime," said Iain Drummond, CEO of Imagis. "This innovative extension of our facial identification technology to object identification is an important component in the NCS`s efforts and demonstrates Imagis` ability to develop advanced recognition technology with applications beyond biometrics."

Previous NCS operations, "Cathedral" (1998) and "Landmark" (2001), have given Imagis and Serco the opportunity to carefully map the field requirements of the law enforcement agency for the purpose of fighting online child pornography. On November 28, 2001, the NCS seized computers and materials and arrested suspects as part of an international crackdown on child pornography, codenamed Operation Landmark. The NCS is already using a pilot installation of Imagis` facial recognition technology to analyze pictures and match them to images recorded during previous NCS operations.

Features of the NCS facial recognition solution based on Imagis` ID-2000 software include the ability to:



- Identify an individual within very large databases of images in
seconds;
- Link records of victims, perpetrators, and evidence for investigation
and case preparation;
- Search for common background scenes as well as faces;
- Transmit information, including internationally, in a highly-secure
fashion;
- Search the database against both imagery and data;
- Securely search local and remote databases regardless of their
physical location; and
- Use imagery from any source - live video, digital/analogue photos,
scanners, etc.

Additionally, Imagis has developed an interface to ID-2000 which enables seamless integration with other value-added applications and technologies. An example is Convera`s Screening Room(R), a video content management solution, that is used to enable live digital video input for additional object recognition capabilities.
About Serco Plc

Serco is an international provider of management services to government and industry. The company covers a wide range of activities, from controlling satellites and operating computer networks for the European Space Agency, to managing and operating the London Docklands Light Railway where Serco was recently voted National Rail Operator of the year. The company employs over 32,500 staff in more than 35 countries. Serco Justice is closely associated with the National Crime Squad as its Strategic IT Partner. In the last year, Serco Justice have supplied the NCS with an Imagis Prototype Biometric Software solution to analyze images sequestered during Operation Cathedral. This process has proved its worth by processing hundreds of thousands of images in a fraction of the time that could be achieved manually. More information on the company can be found at www.serco.com.

[Hokieburger]

Moin !
Ich denke schon, dass viele Marktteilnehmer IMAGIS genau beobachten. Wir sind definitiv in einer Art Lauerstellung. Die Nachricht von heute, bestätigt meine sehr positive (zugegeben) Meinung zu IMAGIS. Das fängt bei der im UNternehmensvergleich leistungsfähigeren Biometrie-Software an und geht mit solchen Nachrichten weiter.

Dieses Jahr wird zeigen, ob sich IMAGIS im hochinnovativen Wachstumsmarkt "Sicherheit durch Biometrie" gut positionieren kann.

Da ich glaube, dass IMAGIS das schaffen wird,und aufgrund der derzeitigen Mini-Kapitalisierung erwarte ich noch einiges. Persönliches Kursziel auf 12 Monatssicht: 6 USD. (bei moderater Erwartung)



Heute schon 10% PLUS !

IMAGIS RETAINS BOSTON-BASED PEMBRIDGE VENTURE PARTNERS

Vancouver, BC, January 3, 2002: Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; CDNX: NAB; Germany: IGY) announces that it has entered into an engagement letter with Pembridge Venture Partners ("PVP") to provide strategic financial advice. PVP is the private-equity affiliate of The Pembridge Group LP (http://www.pembridgegroup.com), a premier Boston-based investment firm ("Pembridge Group"). Pembridge Group acts as advisor to Pembridge Fund Management ("PFM") and Pembridge Venture Partners. PFM is the asset management arm of the firm and manages the Concert series of technology hedge funds and the Symphony fund-of-funds. PVP provides growth capital to formative companies in the areas of software, data-storage, networking, and the health sciences. Pembridge manages over $600,000,000 in capital, and its funds have consistently posted some of the highest returns to investors in the alternative asset management industry. Pembridge funds are eligible to accredited non-U.S. institutions only and are currently closed to new investors.

Mr. Treyton L. Thomas, Chairman of Pembridge Group and Managing Partner of PVP explained the firm`s interest in Imagis by saying, "The biometrics space offers demand and growth metrics that are extremely attractive to us. While the U.S. Congress just overwhelmingly approved a $20 billion plan to arm the United States against terrorism, enhanced domestic airport security is but one component of the Imagis growth curve. Unlike other facial recognition software, the heuristic algorithms in their technology allows for the recognition of patterns beyond the human face that can aid in criminal investigations and case preparation. While airport security garners the most media attention, there are other important international applications such as bolstering security at nuclear facilities that were integral to the former Soviet Union, global border control, and identification of child victims of appalling crimes. In a post-attack world, customer demand now dictates that the security industry deliver products that anticipate and prevent, rather than merely react. The confluence of Imagis` current valuation, gross operating margins, and parabolic growth prospects make it the most compelling investment in the biometrics sector today."

Under the terms of the engagement letter, PVP has agreed to assist the Company as one of its non-exclusive financial advisors. The activities of PVP will include providing strategic capital markets advice, including mergers, banking advisory and review of any potential investment banking relationships, strategic alliances, financing, or any other capital markets needs of the company. Imagis issued to PVP 50,000 warrants, with each warrant being exercisable into one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of CDN$2.20 per share for a period of two years.

Mr. Iain Drummond, President & CEO of Imagis, commented; "We are pleased that Pembridge supports the market opportunities for our Company and acknowledges that our facial recognition technology has significant applications in a number of sectors in security and law enforcement. With their assistance, we anticipate an increase in our Company`s profile in the investment community that will ultimately bring value to our shareholders. We look forward to our combined effort to exploit a number of strategic opportunities."

Imagis further announces that it will grant, subject to regulatory approval, 160,000 options to directors of the Company. The options are exercisable into common shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of CDN$2.20 per share for a term of five years subject to certain vesting provisions.

February 05, 2002 10:14:00 AM ET


By Jim Christie

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 4 (Reuters) - In a world where security concerns are rising, the stern border guard squinting at smudged passports is about to get a high-tech makeover -- and travelers are set to face more electronic screening than they ever have in the past.

The introduction of more sophisticated tools at border crossings is already drawing fire from civil libertarians and some travelers. But with heightened security causing snarls at every checkpoint, enhanced technology is increasingly seen as a solution to the problem.

The tech industry is gearing up to supply the fast-emerging market. Increasingly, high-tech tools such as computer notebooks and handheld devices are being used to track tourists, check visas and confirm identities, building data bases that may ultimately be used by officials around the world.

In Hungary, for example, border guards in January began using notebook computers with wireless technology from Santa Clara, Calif.-based 3Com Corp. (COMS) -- linking them quickly with nearby computer networks.

The project, which involved Hungary`s Ministry of Economy, aims to cut the time to process passports and ease the way for free-spending tourists.

But Hungary`s border guards, like many others around the world, may have another goal after the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington: to share data quickly to detect foreigners believed to pose possible security threats.

U.S. President George W. Bush is thinking along similar lines. Border security rated a strong mention in his Jan. 29 State of the Union address, in which he vowed to improve intelligence gathering and "use technology to track the arrivals and departures of visitors to the United States."

One of the first priorities has been airline security, for obvious reasons, since commercial jets were used to carry out the Sept. 11 attacks. Federal aviation authorities are already at work on a government network to link airline reservation systems across the United States to get a better picture of who is flying, where they are going, and who they are traveling with. Two prototypes may be tested soon.

Meanwhile, some airlines are discussing similar network efforts to essentially profile suspicious booking patterns that could flag a possible threat.

TAKE THAT TO THE BANK

Authorities are also targeting borders, and equipping guards with portable devices to share data over networks is seen as one obvious enhancement. Some in the private sector already are showing the way.

Salt Lake City, Utah-based Zions First National Bank, for example, last year launched wireless banking services allowing customers to use Palm PDAs, RIM handhelds and Internet-enabled mobile phones to access account information, transfer funds and get balance alerts over a secure digital system.

"Our society is becoming increasingly mobile, and we are finding that Zion`s Bank customers are increasingly on the move," says Lee Carter, Zions` president of online banking.

Government networks, processing data in real-time, likewise could help screen people on the move. Using portable devices, a guard could call up a visitor`s border crossing history. Software could flag suspicious patterns.

Profiling is a key goal of the prototype projects for airline security. HNC Software Inc. (HNCS), which develops "risk-detection" software for credit card issuers and other companies, is teaming with PROS Revenue Management and Acxiom Corp. (ACXM) to conclude from various data which passengers need heightened scrutiny. PROS has access to airline seating records and Acxiom collects and markets various data on individual consumers.

The U.S. State Department is already using digital technology to keep better tabs of those seeking entry into the United States. The department creates digital photos of all who obtain U.S. visas abroad.

"It greatly reduces the chances that a photograph could be substituted by an impostor," says Christopher Lamora, a State Department spokesman.

In the near future, as immigration officers match visa holders with digital photos, a video system may record the passport holder`s face for yet another check. Or the system will watch as individuals check in for airline flights.

Facial images could be sent to databases and compared against mug-shots of the world`s most wanted. Or they could be sent out over wireless networks to handheld devices to give police a clear picture of a suspect.

Nokia Corp. (NOK) says mobile phones and other handhelds allowing conversations and color displays of images -- both still and moving pictures -- are on the way.

Some military forces already use Palm Inc. (PALM) handhelds to send urgent data. Nevada National Guard units on duty in Kosovo issue Palm handhelds to medics aboard helicopters to track patient vital signs and list treatments. The data can be sent to hospitals to waiting medical staff.

EYE IN THE SKY

Face ID technology and networks that alert police have already raised the hackles of some civil liberties groups, who argue that the various devices could be used to violate essential freedoms.

Moreover, face ID technology does not now work as advertised, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. "It is very easily fooled by changes in appearance and affected by lighting and camera angles," says Jayashri Srikantiah, a staff attorney with ACLU of Northern California.

Nevertheless, airport orders for "biometric" face-scanning technology are climbing -- boosting belief that the technology may soon be quick, cheap and easy enough to deploy widely.

"Before Sept. 11, every year was said to be the year biometrics would take off," notes Frost and Sullivan analyst Priank Chopra.

"There are endless places that may feel at danger of terrorism," adds Clinton Morrison, director of equity research with Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard. "There is a lot of potential for increased surveillance type of security and biometric verification."

Airports are starting points. Vancouver, British Columbia-based Imagis Technologies Inc. , for instance, has installed a face ID system at the Oakland International Airport near San Francisco.

Competitor Viisage Technology Inc. (VISG) in January installed its first, fully operational face i.d. system at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport in Florida.

Minnetonka, Minnesota-based Visionics Corp. (VSNX) has pilot face ID systems at Dallas Fort-Worth and Palm Beach International Airports. Visionics in December teamed with defense contractor Raytheon Co. (RTN) to sell the systems to airports and other potential clients. That followed a November announcement by Tyco International Ltd. (TYC) that its ADT Security Services would sell Visionics systems to airports. REUTERS

Moin !

Ja, das könnte das Jahr der Biometrie werden. Vieles deutet darauf hin (siehe auch letztes Posting).

Der Kurs gestern hat die nächste Raketenstufe gezündet:

NEW 52 WEEK HIGH

USD 1,99 (ein PLUS von 7,6%) entspricht EUR 2,29 !
CAD 3,10 (ein PLUS von 6,9%) entspricht EUR 2,23 !

Ich bin auf heute gespannt. Der Kurs ist auf jeden Fall durch einen Widerstand bei spätestens CAD 2,50 abgesichert.

Enthält viele nützliche Informationen. 12-month-price-target: CAD 5,25

[josieR]

also diesen Research-Bericht finde ich schon merkwürdig. Ok, als Ziel auf 5,25 zu kommen ist ja ok, nur muss es dann heissen 24Month-Target, denn schlieslich soll nach deren Berechnung die 0,33 Gewinn Ende 2003 erreicht sein, das ist noch etwas länger hin

@ EL marco

suchst du das? sieht so aus, als ob das nicht von imagis ist.

Eye Scanner Tested at London Airport

LONDON (AP) - Immigration officials on Friday began testing a pioneering security system that scans a passenger`s eye as an alternative to checking passports at London`s Heathrow Airport.

The five-month-long trial will allow up to 2,000 frequent visitors to pass through immigration simply by staring into a video camera that takes a close-up image of the iris. The system was developed by EyeTicket Corp. of McLean, Va.

``Although this particular trial is about simplifying a passenger`s progress through the airport, we will also consider whether in the longer term this sort of technology could have wider security benefits,`` said Heathrow Airport managing director Mike Temple.

Passengers will undergo identity checks by an immigration officer before being able to use the equipment. A digital image of each passenger`s iris is then stored in a computer data base.

Once enrolled, passengers simply look into the camera from a distance of about 10 inches and their identities are verified in seconds.

If the iris patterns match, an entry ticket is automatically printed and a barrier opens, allowing the traveler out of the immigration hall.

Enrolled passengers will still need to carry their passports on each trip.

The trial is open to passengers who travel with British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
