PENETRATES TINTED GLASS
By combining a high-resolution camera that’s optimized for day and night operation with powerful LED arrays that light up the inside of the vehicle, even through highly-tinted windows, ballistic glass, and heavy glare.
FACIAL DETECTION & RECOGNITION
TacID VEC utilizes proprietary algorithms to extract faces in the vehicle and quickly return a high-quality cropped facial image for each of the vehicle’s occupants, a total count on the number of vehicle occupants, and clear labeling of the driver vs. passengers.
VERIFICATION OF ALL OCCUPANTS
The TacID VEC software is able to identify all vehicle occupants (in both front and rear seats) and perform advanced facial matching. This integrated facial recognition capability enables the rapid identification of allowed employees or visitors to an installation or facility. Individuals placed on a watchlist or barment roster are immediately identified and an alert is sent to the security officer. Secure Planet continues to drive innovative technology advancements and is the industry leader for facial recognition solutions.
APPLICATIONS
• Vehicle Access Control: Entry and Egress Lanes
• Vehicle Movement Monitoring Inside Large Facilities
• Border Crossings
• Secure Parking Facilities
TacID VEC
Secure Planet is pleased to present a through-the-windshield facial recognition (FR) system that works at speed (at least 25 MPH), night or day, in any kind of weather or sun glare or window tinting, capturing faces of the vehicle occupants, including unobstructed faces of passengers in both front and back seats.
Face Recognition at a Distance
Secure Planet is pleased to offer solutions for facial recognition over a variety of distances. Our solutions are built around the state-of-the-art Rank One Computing facial recognition algorithm and can be deployed in hand-held or man portable modes depending on customer requirements. Facial extraction and matching from still imagery and videos, in a connected or disconnected environment and over a variety of distances, is available in either the hand-held or man portable modes.

up to 200 meters in daylight conditions. Images that are seamlessly extracted from the streaming video will be automatically matched against a database of millions of individuals, with or without a network connection to remote computing resources. The system is built around a commercial off-the-shelf lens, a connected laptop computer and the highest-rated U.S.-made facial recognition algorithm, which was designed for unconstrained, low resolution imagery. The operator points an internally-stabilized lens toward the person or people intended to be matched. The system will then automatically extract and match all faces that appear in the streaming video and visually alert the user when persons match to an enrolled individual in the database or to an on-board watchlist.
- Fully automated facial recognition system that runs on Windows
- Integrated laptop or tablet display allows the operator to orient the camera towards the person(s) to be surveilled
- Autofocus, auto exposure and vibration reduction ensures optimal face image quality
- Continuous identification even with off-pose images, hats, facial hair, eyeglasses and sunglasses
- Provides the operator the ability to enroll individuals on-the-fly
- Match results and meta data displayed on the laptop or tablet
- The capability has application to military, border security and law enforcement missions
- Secure Planet has deployed several hundred biometric matching systems that are used in communications- disadvantaged environments

Users request access via an app on their phone after taking a selfie, entering a PIN, and selecting a location. The phone adds its own unique identifier and sends an access request to a server, which verifies the user by facial recognition, PIN, and phone identifier (3-factor authentication). If the user is authorized access, the server returns a confirmation secret displayed on the phone as a QR code (in 3 seconds or less). At the gate, confirmed users are recognized via RFID code or a message sent by the users’s phone and directed into a “fast lane” by signal lights. All vehicles in the fast lane are confirmed, and violators are stopped by a red light and/or boom gate while guards are audibly alerted.
Facial Identification Examiner Training
Secure Planet, in partnership with Ideal Innovations Inc., offers Facial Identification Training for organizations that staff face examiners to supplement their automated face matching system. The curriculum is aimed at improving the skill sets of the analyst. The 5 or 10 day courses provide the examiner with necessary skills and strategies needed when conducting facial comparisons. This course is perfect for federal, state, local or commercial organizations that have facial recognition systems and who are performing facial comparisons.
