Ultra-Scan will leverage the company's previously developed multimodal fusion technology to quantify the accuracy and validate the performance of its Neyman-Pearson fusion software for use with mission critical tactical identification systems, verifying that a score level fusion matching capability is achievable. A platform independent interface will be developed to allow integration of Ultra-Scan’s fusion algorithm and corresponding training module with legacy multimodal biometric identification systems, culminating in the design of a test platform for automatic head-to-head performance comparisons between Ultra-Scan’s fusion software and operational tactical identification systems. The test platform will allow for quantifiable performance measurements resulting from the inclusion/exclusion of new matchers and modalities as they are developed, providing a valuable tool to appraise the effectiveness of future technologies.
