With terrorism on the rise all over the world, attention is now focused on the potential to identify them at the port entries or at public places, passively from remote distances and in shortest possible time. In either of these cases, unambiguous identification of the suspected individuals is a very important defense requirement against terrorism. In this paper we explore the potential for the use of visible light (or IR) in passive and remote detection of human face characteristics particularly, the colors of the individual’s eyes to achieve the goal. While many techniques including fingerprinting, iris recognition, and proportions of individual’s facial characteristics are in use to-day, our focus is on identification that utilize optical absorption strengths of the colors of eye or other features of human face that clearly isolates one person from others.
The utilization of optical absorption technology is spreading thought many industries particularly for active or passive remote sensing. In the past decade there has been an explosion of digital camera technology with an ever-increasing number of detectors (pixels) in a single Focal Point Arrays (FPA). They range from inexpensive commercial digital cameras to high resolution IR sensors for satellites. The technology is finding its way into many other industries such as medical instrumentation's and spectrograph's. The increase in the densities of FPA, has forced scientists and engineers to find other avenues in image processing, particularly filtering and detection methodologies for higher resolutions and higher speeds. This paper is concerned with a new method of hardware filtering of visible light, suited to be utilized in many applications, particularly for positive identification of suspected terrorists. In particular a system with the following benefits:

In particular a system with the following benefits:
- Extremely reliable with very low probabilities of false detection
- Minimal time for identification
- Registration and identification from remote distances
- The issue of platforms for an ease of system operations
- Low costs and lower times for the system to operate
- Adaptable to be Installed at sensitive areas and or to be carried like a cell phone
Our Team
Principal Investigator
Ned M. Ahdoot, Project Manager, Senior Scientist and Investigator
Education: BEE., Electrical Engineering New York City college, New York, N.Y. 1970 MSEE., Electrical Engineering New York University New York, N.Y. 1973 Secret Clearance. Ned Ahdoot has over 35 years of experience in the aerospace and electronics field including design and development of communication and recommence satellite for the United States Air Force. As a program manager, Ahdoot has extensive experience in GPS Satellites design with responsibility for definition of technical requirements (Requirement Specification), definition of scope of the work, planning of schedule and budget, and assigning key personnel to specific positions. As project manager, his managerial and technical experience includes his work on the DSP satellite, Milstar Satellite, and STSS. Mr. Ahdoot has received several company (TRW and others) letters of commendations for the hard work to finish a project on time with the goal to meet United States Government needs. Ahdoot has proven experience providing project’s requirement specifications, negotiating technical as well as financial aspect for the vendor (to build and deliver) and oversee work in progress. Over his career, he has a long history interfacing with outside contractors, and customers such as Air Force. He has extensive experiences in working with Government personnel as well as sub-contractors. Ned Ahdoot has provided valuable recommendations and assistance for resolving complex technical issues. As a key member of Independent Readiness Review Team (IRRT System Lead Engineer) for STSS, WGS and DMSP satellites, Ahdoot has uncovered and resolved many high profile technical issues, benefiting the team and the Air Force. Additional informationThe objectives towards Remote Sensing Instruments for observatories, Reconnaissance, remote substance identification and measurement, spectrograph is crucial for the United State Government Agencies and commercials use. There is a need for transformational discoveries in the science of instrumentation and sensors to expand understanding of earth and the universe. Provide instrumentations with radical new abilities for greater clarity in observation and identification of objects, in minimal time. It should be readily achievable, without resorting to costly and long term chase of new discoveries in electro optic or other devices.
A revolutionary new concept with radical new abilities in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) been developed to allow instrumentations with greater clarity in identification and measurements and provide room for far more advanced abilities of identifications in visible light and IR (please refer to section 3.6). Proof of Concept An initial proof of the concept for the above goals has been established that points to much higher resolutions in real time without resorting to costly and long term chase of new discoveries in electro optic and larger and larger antennas. An autonomous instrument that drastically reduces a payload’s weight and power, compared to the present instrumentations. Reconnaissance
