The ABIS® 7 System
Implementing large-scale government-sponsored civilian
identification programs is a highly complex project. Selecting the
right technology partner and a solution with the flexibility to scale
based on future growth requirements are of key importance. The
ABIS® 7 System combines L-1’s dedicated top-rated multi-modal
algorithms to ensure one identity per person, regardless of the
biometric required – fingerprint, face or iris. Agencies issuing secure
identity documentation for high volume programs such as passports,
driver’s licenses or national ID cards can select hardware and
customize their workflows to meet their specific needs and protect
their investment over time.
Select the Top-Rated MultiBiometric Algorithms
ABIS® 7 Fingerprint Matching
ABIS® 7 uses L-1’s BioEngine®
fingerprint technology that
incorporates new and more
accurate high-speed filters for
fingerprint identification in
increasingly larger populations.
Tests conducted by the U.S.
government place BioEngine®
version 7 among the leading
fingerprint technologies – the result
of more than 10 years of continued
improvement in fingerprint
matching technique
ABIS® 7 Face Recognition
The incorporated FaceIt®
technology combines multiple
top-performing face-recognition
algorithms, each analyzing different
attributes of the human face.
The result is that the FaceIt®
Generation 9 is a multi-pass
security solution that significantly
improves search and hit rates
to become the top performer in
the industry. Each layer adds to
the overall results of identifying
and verifying individuals – even
between twins.
ABIS® 7 Iris Recognition
Iris matching technology delivers
what some consider to be the
most accurate biometric for secure
identification. Coupled with great
accuracy, iris matching operates
at high speed making it ideal
for duplicate detection in very
large populations. L-1’s Daugman
technology has continually
demonstrated top tier performance
in government tests. The
Daugman 10 algorithm is capable
of performing optimally in any
environmental condition providing
unparalleled power and flexibility
to iris applications such as iris on
the move, iris at a distance and iris
recognition from mobile devices.
Multimodal Operation
Multimodal solutions deliver
unparalleled accuracy and
assurance of 100% population
coverage through multi-biometric
operations. Available options
include parallel searches of face,
fingerprint and/or iris galleries,
with automatic fusion of face,
fingerprint and iris searches
into a single result. Multimodal
searches offer several potential
benefits including higher accuracy,
improved “lights out” automation
and more economical hardware
configurations.
Quality Control
ABIS® 7 has built-in image quality
controls for fingerprint, face and
iris biometrics to reduce failureto-enroll rates, ensure better
biometric performance and meet
ISO standards for biometric image
dimensions and quality.
Proven Biometric Performance
According to the test results reported in the most important industry tests, L-1 Identity
solutions repeatedly was among the top performer. The 2006 Face Recognition Vendor Test
(FRVT), Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE) as well as NIST tests on fingerprint performance,
L-1 Identity Solutions was the best all-around performer. L-1’s face recognition algorithms
performed best in most of the tests, the iris algorithm submissions were two of the top
three performers, the fingerprint technology is placed among the top tier of competing
algorithms. Top tier performance was also achieved in the latest 2010 NIST MultipleBiometric Evaluation (MBE). The MBE tests were performed on databases with a
size larger than a million images and L-1’s algorithms ranked under the top three.

Mobile Identification System (MIS)
Identify Suspects in the Field. Expedite Investigations.
Face Recognition for
Law Enforcement
Face Recognition
technology is designed
to identify a person
using distinguishing
facial traits. It has
become one of the
most promising and
powerful technological
developments for
the law enforcement
agencies to address the
issues of identity in the
booking, release, and
criminal investigation
processes.
It’s a tool that
complements deputies’
training and judgment
and reduces costly
delays that can occur
when attempting to
ascertain a suspect’s
true identity.
A significant number of law enforcement encounters occur with
individuals that lack acceptable identification. Law enforcement
officers use their judgment and training in these instances to
determine whether the suspect should be further questioned and
investigated. This situation is costly for law enforcement and may
inconvenience innocent people in the effort to find the individuals with
criminal records who are attempting to evade the law.
Combining face recognition and wireless technologies, MIS is designed
to provide deputies with the ability to verify an individual’s identity in
the field.
Case Study: Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office in Florida is
utilizing Face Recognition to improve Law Enforcement
Identifying Uncooperative Suspects with MIS
Many times deputies in the field are presented with questionable credentials,
no credentials or false identity information by suspects. With the MIS
solution, deputies can capture an individual’s image with a digital camera,
place the camera into a docking station in the patrol car and through wireless
communication to the PCSO’s existing image database, and conduct a face
recognition search to determine if the individual has been previously arrested.
As a result, deputies can immediately determine if an individual being
questioned has a prior criminal record and make a necessary arrest on the
spot.
On September 11, 2004, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) deputies
responding to a disturbance call found an uncooperative suspect who
provided what turned out to be false name and date of birth, which made it
impossible for deputies to identify the suspect through traditional measures.
Subsequently, the PCSO officers used MIS, powered by the leading face
recognition technology, to quickly identify the 27-year-old female, who
was wanted on two felony warrants. Upon being confronted with the
positive photo match, the suspect confessed to her true identity and was
subsequently arrested and booked at the Pinellas County Jail.
Since the implementation of the technology in over 50 patrol cars in a year
timeframe, PCSO conducted over 100 arrests in the field.
MIS Workflow
MIS Benefits
Law enforcement officer takes digital
image of suspect with an off-the-shelf
digital camera.
• Enhances officer’s safety
Officer places the camera into a docking
station within the patrol car or remote
site and with the push of a single button
transfers the image to the laptop.
• Helps prevent false
arrests
The image is then enrolled into the
system for searching against the facial
database.
MIS downloads, saves, creates a facial
image template, searches an image
database, and returns a match gallery to
the patrol car laptop with a single button
click.
• Saves officer’s time
• Incorporates face
recognition for reliable
identification
• No special training
required to use the
system
The officer identifies the facial matches
returned from the search.
The officer retrieves and compares
demographic information for the
individual such as names given in prior
encounters with law enforcement.
