Abstract
Abstract A system ( 10 ) for capturing identification data pertaining to a subject is provided. The system ( 10 ) generally comprises a main support assembly ( 200 ) spaced a predetermined distance from the subject; a plurality of image capture devices ( 300 a -300 c ) displaceably supported by the main support assembly ( 200 ); at least one auxiliary data capture device ( 400 a -400 d ); and, a programmably configured workstation ( 100 ) operably coupled to each of the devices ( 300 a -300 b , 400 a -400 b ) for automatically controlling those devices responsive to user actuation thereof. Image capture devices ( 300 a -300 b ) operate to concurrently generate a plurality of graphic representations of the subject. They are adjustably disposed for respectively rendering the graphic representations from preselected view orientations. At least one auxiliary data capture device ( 400 a -400 d ) is operable to capture a predetermined biometric parameter pertaining to the subject.
