SCIOMETRICS, formerly Gannon Technologies Group, has been developing object recognition technology, primarily under the sponsorship of the US government, for over a decade. The technology sprung out of optical character recognition technology, and its first new target was handwriting recognition for the intelligence community. Our discoveries led to algorithms for multiple languages in handwriting biometrics, which is now used by the FBI and DOD. Over the last decade, Sciometrics has used its graphing techniques to perform a number of pattern recognition research and development projects for intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Utilization of the algorithms for more general distribution has taken place over the last 3 years, resulting in our two current products: AFIS Afterburner our advanced fingerprinting product and FlashID, which is our industry leading handwriting biometric product. Presently, Sciometrics products have been tested and used by the FBI and the Department of Defense.
