O ministro Liam Byrne do Immigration última semana unveiled um sistema imagem-baseado £50,000 da base de dados que associasse impressões digitais, um visto e um número original do passport com um indivíduo. O sistema é a prancha a mais atrasada no £400m do governo E-Beiras plataforma da tecnologia do controle da beira.
O sistema piloto para confirmar a identidade dos visitantes ao Reino Unido funcionará no terminal norte de Gatwick de setembro 2007 a abril 2008, usando dados dos pretendentes do visto de Sierra Leão. If successful, the government may extend it to cover up to five million visitors a year from non-European countries, excluding the US. The pilot is part of a wider biometric-based border control system for the EU called BioDev 2. The BioDev 2 consortium members are Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and the UK. A Home Office spokesman said the project is 80% funded by the EU. Britain has contributed about £28,000 to the European Commission for BioDev 2.
Motorola, Zetes and Sagem, which earlier supplied the iris recognition system for the Home Office’s “trusted traveller” scheme, are the three main suppliers to the BioDev project. Motorola supplied the Gatwick installation, and will install similar systems in other EU countries later.
Mike Lyne, assistant director at the Border & Immigration Agency, said the department is pleased with the system’s performance so far. Some 5,000 names and related images are in the pilot database.
Most come from the collection UKVisas has been building since September 2006, when giving biometric details became compulsory for visa applications from some countries.
Fred Preston, Motorola’s project leader, said the system finds a matching record in milliseconds.
