Sarnoff Corp. has unveiled a vehicle drive through system for access control based on the company’s Iris on the Move identification technology. The biometric drive through system features a pan-tilt-zoom mechanism that allows iris image capture for people inside of vehicles at various heights. Sarnoff says the system works outdoors under different lighting conditions and can be adapted for secure checkpoints or other uses. Features of the system include high throughput, design flexibility, and interoperability with multiple iris recognition algorithms and platforms. Sarnoff is a subsidiary of SRI International. Sarnoff plans to market directly to end customers and government agencies to make them aware of the capabilities but for most deployments expects to work with partners and systems integrators. The technology is already deployed in several locations with the federal government although Sarnoff can’t identify the customers. The Iris on the Move technology has achieved a throughput rate of 20 people per minute but the company says the vehicle pass through deployment might be less due to process limitations driven by cars queuing and gates opening.
