Michigan State University researchers have developed technology for long-range biometric identification, supported by a four-year federal grant from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) worth $12 million under its Biometric Recognition and Identification at Altitude and Range program.
The goal of the program is to develop end-to-end software systems that can detect individuals and extract “biometric signatures” from the entire body such as gait and body shape, as well as the face for multimodal biometric matching.
