flexible in-field identifications and can match an unknown individual against
a database of millions with extremely high accuracy within seconds. The PIER-T
is connected to a PC or laptop. The PIER uses the highly accurate L-1 Daugman
iris recognition algorithm for biometric matching.
The EM Jumpkit has a variety of custom configurations depending on
customer demands and includes a HIIDE device, a HIIDE Expansion Module (EM),
