Select Results from the 2019 DHS Biometric Technology Rally

This paper provides a better understanding of how biometric systems work in high-throughput, public environments like airports and border crossings. Biometric systems include both face acquisition systems (i.e., cameras) and face recognition algorithms. This report measured the performance of 10 commercial face acquisition systems and 8 face recognition algorithms on 430 diverse people in an operationally-relevant scenario test, simulating an airport biometric checkpoint.
