US customs It requires the protection of borders from technology companies to send stadiums to the actual face recognition tool that will take pictures of each person in a vehicle at a border crossing, including anyone in the rear seats, and match them with travel documents, according to a document published in a federal record last week.
The request to obtain information, or RIF, says that CBP has already has a face recognition tool that takes a picture of a person in the entry port and compares it to travel or identity documents that a person offers to a border employee, as well as other forms of these documents “in government holdings”.
The document says: “Vital confirmed entries are added in the United States to the passenger transit record,” the document.
CBP, an agency under the administration of internal security, says the recognition tool for its face “is currently working in air, sea and land environments.” The agency’s goal is to bring it to the “ground vehicle environment”. according to Page on the website CBP on the web The agency was updated last week, which “test” how to do this. RIF says that these tests show that although this face recognition tool is “improved”, it is always unable to get pictures of all complex passengers, especially if they are in the second or third row.
“Human behavior, multiple passenger compounds and environmental obstacles, all unique challenges of the car environment,” the document says. CBP says she wants a private seller to provide a “increase in passenger pictures” and “capture 100 % of the vehicle passengers”.
Dave Mass, Director of Investigations at the Electronic Border Foundation, Receive a document From CBP, by requesting a public record that reveals the results of a 152 -day test, the agency was conducted on the facial recognition system from the entry port from late 2021 to early 2022. I mentioned for the first time by the intersection.
Mas said that what has emerged for him is the rate of error. Cameras at the Instandoas border crossing on Mexico’s border with Mcalain, Texas, were taken pictures of every person in the car only 76 percent of the time, and among these people, only 81 percent achieved “health verification requirements” to match their face with identity documents.
The current repetition of the system matches a person’s image with his travel documents in what is known as the individual face recognition. Mas says that the primary danger here is that the regime has failed to realize that someone matches its own documents. This differs from the recognition of the face one to the maximum, which the police may use to determine the suspect based on a monitoring image, where the primary danger is someone who gets a wrong positive match and is determined as a suspect.
Mas says it is not clear whether CBP error rates are primarily related to cameras or matching system itself. He says: “We do not know what ethnic variations, gender variations, etc., reach these systems,” he says.
According to The Intercept in 2024, the Director of Science and Technology at the Ministry of National Security He issued a request For information last August, it is similar to that of CBP last week. However, the DHS document is currently not available.
