D -- ANNOUNCEMENT OF A COMMERCIALIZATION OPPORTUNITY MEETING FOR A 3D INTEGRATED FACIAL IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGY SOL cbdilefisss033100 DUE 050100 POC Robin Lotz, Market Research Analyst, OLETC, (888) 306-5382 ext. 2542 WEB: ERROR --, http://www.oletc.org. E-MAIL: For further infornation or to register for either, rlotz@nttc.edu. The Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization (OLETC), a program of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), is initiating procedures to commercialize ILEFIS (Integrated Law-Enforcement Face-Identification System). ILEFIS has been developed under contract to NIJ at Wheeling Jesuit University over the past two years. ILEFIS represents a new face-identification technology based on a completely three-dimensional-composite framework with the ability to operate with a wide range of available two-dimensional face images. ILEFIS has special capabilities for identifying subjects (cooperative or non-cooperative) from a distance based on two-dimensional, angled-pose (non-frontal-view) face images extracted from surveillance video or still camera equipment. This technology incorporates a special low-dimensional coding feature that allows its search-and-match algorithm to screen its preprocessed database (including databases for law enforcement "mug shots") at the rate of one million subjects in two seconds. It also includes a fully three-dimensional composite system for constructing faces on the basis of victim/witness testimony under varying pose and illumination conditions. ILEFIS operates on standard PC platforms (e.g., Windows NT, 98, 2000; also programmed for Linux, Unix). U.S. and International patents have been filed on its face-identification technology. ILEFIS was developed primarily for the use of the law enforcement and corrections community. However, it is anticipated that its core technology has numerous other opportunities for commercial application in biomedicine, finance/banking, customs, security, and military. Two meetings have been scheduled for persons or organizations interested in licensing, purchasing, and/or commercializing this technology as indicated below:  May 10, 2000 in Wheeling, WV on the campus of Wheeling Jesuit University in the Auditorium at the National Technology Transfer Center  May 23, 2000 in San Jose, CA on the campus of Santa Clara University in the Williman Room located in the Benson Memorial Center The meetings will include an overview and demonstration of ILEFIS and a review of relevant market data. Time will be allotted in the afternoon for individual meetings between interested parties and ILEFIS representatives. Private sessions can be scheduled upon registration or in person on the day of the event. The deadline for registration for either meeting is May 1, 2000. Any person or organization that has an interest to license, purchase, or commercialize this emerging technology, should contact OLETC at the following address: OLETC Attention: Robin Lotz, Market Research Analyst 316 Washington Ave Wheeling, WV 26003 Telephone: 888-306-5382 FAX: 304-243-2131 rlotz@nttc.edu More details are available from the following web site: www.oletc.org Posted 03/31/00 (W-SN440329).
