Abstract:
1. A method for tracking passengers at a travel facility, comprising: receiving, with a processor, captured facial recognition features of a passenger using a first facial recognition camera at a first known location; determining, with the processor, whether the captured facial recognition features of the passenger are stored in a database, and, when it is determined that the captured facial recognition features of the passenger are not stored in the database, determining, with the processor, one or more actions to be taken based on the determined amount of elapsed time; outputting the determined amount of elapsed time and the determined one or more actions to be taken to at least one of one or more travel facility display devices, one or more administrative display devices, and one or more user display devices; and deleting the captured facial recognition features after a predetermined time period, wherein determined one or more actions being at least one of opening additional security lanes, opening additional passport checking lanes, moving the configuration of security lanes, changing baggage turnstiles, and rerouting passengers through the travel facility, and the captured facial recognition features being limited to measurements of facial geometry corrected for rotation, translation, and scale errors that precludes stored captured facial recognition features being used to reconstitute passenger images.
