Smile! Air Force wants to track you forever with a simple camera click

Don’t bother with the iris scanner or the fingerprinting machine. 

Leave the satellite-enabled locators and tell-tale scents back on the base, military manhunters. 

If an Air Force plan works out as planned, all you’ll need to track your prey is a single camera,
snapping a few seconds of footage from far, far away.

Huntsville, Alabama’s Photon-X, Inc. recently received an Air Force contract to develop such a camera.

With one snap, the company claims, its sensor can build a three-dimensional image of a person’s face: 

the cornerstone of a distinctive “bio-signature” that can be used to track that person anywhere. 

With a few frames more, the device can capture that face’s unique facial muscle motions, 

and turn those movements into a “behaviormetric” profile that’s even more accurate.

“The proposed work will help identify non-cooperative dismounts 

using remote sensors, from standoff distances 

that were previously impossible,”
