NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE (NIJ)
Biometrics Catalog Online
NIJ has teamed with the U.S. Department of Defense's Counterdrug
Technology Development Program Office to launch the online Biometrics
Catalog. Biometrics consist of automated methods for recognizing a
person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics such as
fingerprints, voice patterns, facial recognition, etc.
The catalog provides a single location to find information about
biometric technologies and allows the Biometrics community to share
information about commercial products, development efforts, and
government evaluations. To visit the Biometrics Catalog online,
please go to the following:
http://www.biometricscatalog.org/
You can search in the following categories: Fingerprint, hand
geometry, eye-retinal, eye-iris, facial recognition, speaker, dynamic
signature, multiple biometric, and other types.
I did a sample search on facial recognition and commercially
available products and got these hits.

Now I'm just going to have to make sure I remember to invest in those

year long.
