Need to Counter Fraudulent Activities and Illegal Immigration Drives Use of Biometric Solutions in Border Control Applications

Tightened security measures in the wake of September 11, 2001 have created a strong case for biometric solutions in border control applications. The convenience and user friendliness of biometric solutions such as e-passports have made them the security solution of choice for clamping down on illegal cross-border activities. Although the government was initially reluctant to lend support to biometrics, a few major successful deployments at the air, land, and seaports won market vendors the support of the federal government.

"Regulatory standards including the Visa Waver program mandated by the United States have opened up significant revenue generating opportunities for biometric vendors," says the analyst of this research. "Collaborating and marketing the right technology for a specific application and educating the people regarding privacy concerns through more trade shows and conferences will help vendors achieve significant profit margins."

Technological Innovation to Help Biometric Vendors Beat the Competition

Vendors will be looking to exploit any opportunity they can gain, since the competition has been continuously escalating. They could strategically position products as early in their life cycle as possible or focus on providing higher, accurate, and cost-effective solutions. "Historically, fingerprint recognition technology has been the most economical and well-suited technology for documents issuance and physical access control," notes the analyst. "However, a shift in dynamics is expected as the price of face recognition and iris recognition systems declines."

Market participants are increasingly investing in R&D to gain an edge in technological competence and provide enhanced, non-invasive security solutions. Iris recognition technology has taken a great leap with the development of a solution that can measure from a distance of more than 20 meters. Another novel solution in this segment, which can identify stationary as well as mobile objects, is expected to witness remarkable growth. In the face recognition segment, the invention of 3D face recognition has eliminated a number of problems such as feature localization, pose, and illumination, which were associated with 2D face recognition. Market participants can leverage these product benefits to establish a strong foothold in the market once they sort out the issues of standardization and sales cycle.
