Digital MP adds facial recognition

WOAW ! Robocop can go back sleep !

The Army announced this week that its military police officers have successfully tested facial-recognition technology to aid them in their duties, and the same system ultimately could include language translation capabilities for use in Defense Department peacekeeping initiatives.

MicroOptical Engineering Corp. awarded Visionics Corp. a $100,000 subcontract for the use of Visionics' FaceIt product in a mobile security system that is part of the Army's Digital Military Police program. The award follows field trials by military police at Fort Polk, La., that tested the facial-recognition technology for checkpoint operations.
