Abstract: A device for collecting personal data from a user includes a processor, a sensing device, a document scanner, and a scene camera. The sensing device is configured to capture a biometric of user. The document scanner is configured to produce a visual representation of an identifying document that includes personally identifying information. The scene camera monitors and captures a video of an uninterrupted area surrounding the kiosk including the user, the sensing device, and the document scanner. The processor transmits the captured video to a remote station that can send a signal back to the device.

Abstract: An enrollment kiosk for collecting personal data includes a slidable main module and at least one modifiable section removably coupled to the main module. The main module includes a processor and one or more biometric sensing devices coupled to the processor. The one or more biometric sensing devices include a right fingerprint sensor coupled to the processor and a left fingerprint sensor coupled to the processor. The right fingerprint sensor is positioned a predetermined distance apart from the left fingerprint sensor. The at least one modifiable section includes at least one first input device coupled to the processor. The kiosk also includes a scene camera configured to record a video of an area surrounding the enrollment kiosk and to transmit the video to a remote operator being located remotely from the enrollment kiosk.

Abstract: A biometric and identity enrollment kiosk for collecting personal data includes a slidable main module and at least one modifiable section removably coupled to the main module. The main module includes a processor and one or more biometric sensing devices coupled to the processor. The one or more biometric sensing devices include a right fingerprint sensor coupled to the processor and a left fingerprint sensor coupled to the processor. The right fingerprint sensor is positioned proximate a right end of the main module and the left fingerprint sensor is positioned proximate a left end of the main module. The right fingerprint sensor is positioned a predetermined distance apart from the left fingerprint sensor. The at least one modifiable section includes at least one first input device coupled to the processor.

Abstract: A system and method for processing images includes a plurality of image providers configured to transmit images. A plurality of destination processors receives the transmitted images and transforms the transmitted images to internally useable image data. A plurality of feature object engines find and identify in the internally useable image data a plurality of objects. A plurality of object classifier engines index and classify the plurality of objects found by the feature object engines.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an access control apparatus and method. Enrollment is conducted at a centralized server and enrollment data, such as identification data is downloaded to plural local access units at respective entrances to a restricted area. The local access units then collect data of a person upon an attempted entry in to the area and compare the data with downloaded enrollment data to determine if the person is authorized for access. If the person is authorized, an access control device is operated to open a door, gate, or the like of the entrance. The enrollment data can be primary biometric data or primary and secondary biometric data, said secondary biometric data can be collected at the local access units. If a secondary type of biometric data is collected at the local access units and is correlated to data stored on the local access unit, data of the same type is compared to the downloaded data for access control.
