Abstract
A biometric facial surveillance system comprise at least one independent, stand-alone biometric unit operative to acquire and process biometric parameters to provide a complete verification or identification of a person. In a preferred embodiment, each biometric unit includes a camera operative to provide a two dimensional (2D) video stream and a 3D pixel depth data stream, and at least one processing unit operative to process the 2D video stream and a 3D pixel depth data stream into biometric parameters that verify or identify the particular person. In alternative embodiments, a plurality of biometric units is connected to a biometric server and an applications server which provide management functions.
