I led the team that architected and deployed a Face-Recognition International departure system. The system connects with the Traveler Verification Services (TVS) developed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Just before boarding the plane, each traveler’s photo is taken by the system and sent to TVS, comparing the new photo with the DHS database. The match clears the passenger for departure in just a few seconds.
In the on-step system, after the match has been verified, the system also connects with the airline Departure Control System (DCS) and checks the passenger in, creating a touchless experience.
