I-Cubed has sufficient experience in the development of tools using biometrics for physical and logical security to aid a customer in many areas. This involves face recognition, iris, fingerprint and hand geometry. Other tools exist but there is insufficient data to justify their use on a large scale. One area of future interest is facial thermography.

I-Cubed has the assets and business connections to acquire, install and operate a variety of airborne sensors using a time-tested airframe that can operate in both peacetime and hostile environments. This can be used for aerial surveillance (point and area coverage) and reconnaissance, mapping and charting, mine detection

Law Enforcement (Biometric Applications)

I-Cubed's management has extensive, firsthand experience with a variety of law enforcement agencies in an effort to develop new technology tools. These tools were primarily based on biometrics applications adapted to their specific needs. Organizations supported included member organizations of the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), which is made up of Broward County Sheriffs Office, the Miami Police Department, Miami Medical Examiners Office and the Monroe County Sheriffs Office in Key West. Face recognition SDKs (software development kits) were tailored to build tools for identifying persons with wants and warrants, potential terrorists, surveillance, and to automatically display a lineup for victims to use in the identification of possible suspects. The system was also used to search a large mugshot database for possible matches from low quality videos from surveillance cameras. This support ran for three years as part of a prototype development effort. The other organization supported was the US Customs Cyber Smuggling Center where intelligent software agents were developed to aid them in their internet search for possible criminal activity involving child pornography and other illegal actions. Management has also participated in the annual mock prison riots at Moundsville, WV prison as a demonstrator and participant in the livefire scenarios with various reactions force teams from across the country. This event is sponsored by the Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization (OLETC).
