A Novel Integrated Deception Recognition System Using Thermal and 3D/2D Imaging Analysis

Genex Technologies, Inc, in collaboration with Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and University of Maryland (College Park), proposes herein an innovative three-dimensional (3D) thermal imaging system that is able to acquire multi-modality facial/head images and perform image analysis for the detection and recognition of thermal brain activity emanating from the skull over particular cortical regions related to concealed intent of the subjects. The unique design of our 3D thermal camera allows it to acquire co-registered dynamic facial images with three independent imaging modalities: 2D texture, 3D geometry, and thermal distribution. We therefore can obtain high-resolution "geo-thermal" images (containing co-registered 3 imaging modalities) in real-time. This unprecedented real-time multi-modality imaging sensing capability provides a rich set of information that could lead to a reliable, practical, and remotely operational sensor system for concealed intend detection and identification.
