The teleconference hosted by International Biometric Group (IBG) is titled "Challenges for Biometric Surveillance Systems" and it will take place at 1:00 pm Eastern Time on Thursday, 12 July 2007. In this IBG teleconference, Senior Consultant Matthew Chase will introduce an IBG framework for identifying and addressing challenges facing biometric surveillance systems. Mr. Chase will discuss:

- Overcoming common challenges of surveillance system deployment.
- Strengths and limitations of biometric modalities suitable for surveillance, with an emphasis on face recognition systems;
- Environmental and operational conditions which impact system performance;

    Biometric surveillance systems offer government agencies the ability to identify and track persons of interest before they commit acts of terrorism or fraudulent behavior. A successful biometric surveillance system requires proper system design, development, and deployment, as well as a thorough understanding of the target deployment environment. Without these, a biometric surveillance system can fail to perform as expected and can quickly become a liability.

IBG's Biometrics Market and Industry Report 2007-2012 is the most in-depth and authoritative report on global biometric market opportunities, trends, and growth drivers. The Report helps investors, strategic planners, systems integrators, technology developers, and government organizations understand and capitalize on opportunities in the biometric industry.
The Report forecasts that fingerprint will gain 38.1% of the non-AFIS biometrics market in 2012, followed by face recognition at 19.0% and iris recognition at 7.7%. Vein recognition is expected to play a larger role in access control applications, eventually comprising over 10% of this market. In this IBG teleconference, Consultant Oren Shur introduced the new Report and discussed the following:

# Notable industry trends.
# Industry growth drivers and inhibitors;
# Updates in the Biometrics Market and Industry Report since the last edition;
# Industry revenue numbers and growth predictions;
# Major biometric industry news in 2006;
# Specific applications and industries addressed in the Report
