Process Efficiency Traveler Identity for Airline Check-in and Bag Drop
Description
These use cases facilitate identity verification leveraging TVS.
Detailed example
Leverages DHS facial matching technologies to provide a match or no match response.
AI / analytics pattern
Computer Vision: AI that processes and interprets visual data (e.g., images and videos).
Automation level / stage
c) Deployed – The use case is being actively authorized or utilized to support the functions or mission of an agency.
Expected benefit
The TVS Biometric matching service is a cloud-based facial biometric matching service that enables CBP, External Partners, and Other Government Agencies (OGA) to match a passenger’s identity against a trusted source, throughout the travel continuum which improves traveler facilitation and reduces manual identity verification.
Audit / financial statement impact
This is an option for travelers, not a requirement. If a traveler chooses to use it and the service cannot match a traveler, the traveler may continue check-in/bag drop via another means. CBP does not make any decision or action based on a no-match.
