A key strand of the new unified platform will be a new biometric matcher platform, which will include software tools to support “processing logic… workflow rules… and a service interface used by external subsystems”, according to procurement documents.\nThe deal came into effect last Friday and, over the coming months, existing discrete services will be decommissioned as data is migrated into new centralised biometrics databases.\nThe Home Office has outlined its intent to go to market later this year seeking a commercial partner to support delivery of the facial-matching service.\nIn the longer-term future, the technology could be further developed to enable live face-matching capability by officers using mobile devices.\n“Mobile biometric services could be extended into the modality of face, exploiting the ubiquitous imaging capability now omnipresent in smartphones, together with apps and infrastructure which is already integrated with the BSG [Home Office Biometric Services Gateway],” according to the techUK event listing.
