Biometric technologies have become the main focus in the design of state-of-the-art border security solutions. While respective research in the field of multimedia vision has been centred around improving quality and accuracy of identity recognition, the impact of such technologies upon society and legal regulations still remains a topic unaddressed, specifically within the engineering community. Research in technology can and in some respect must include collaboration with social sciences and social practice. Building on participation in the EU funded research project PERSONA [18] (Privacy, Ethical, Regulatory and SOcial No-gate crossing point solutions Acceptance), authors of this paper look at the challenges associated with biometrics-based solutions in no-gate border crossing point scenarios. This included the procedures needed for the assessment of their social, ethical, privacy and regulatory acceptance, particularly in view of the impact on both, the passengers and border control authorities as well as the potential pitfalls of biometric technology due to fraudulent activities. In consultation with the collaborating border control authorities, the paper reports on the formal assessment of biometric technologies for real-world acceptance to cope with the increasing demand of global travellers crossing state borders.
生物识别技术已成为最先进的边境安全解决方案设计的主要焦点。虽然多媒体视觉领域的相关研究一直集中在提高身份识别的质量和准确性上，但此类技术对社会和法律法规的影响仍是一个未被探讨的话题，特别是在工程界。技术研究能够且在某些方面必须包括与社会科学和社会实践的合作。基于参与欧盟资助的研究项目PERSONA[18]（隐私、伦理、监管和社会无闸口过境点解决方案接受度），本文作者探讨了在无闸口边境过境点场景中基于生物识别的解决方案所面临的挑战。这包括评估其社会、伦理、隐私和监管接受度所需的程序，特别是考虑到对乘客和边境管制当局的影响，以及生物识别技术因欺诈活动而存在的潜在缺陷。通过与合作的边境管制当局协商，本文报告了对生物识别技术进行实际应用接受度的正式评估，以应对全球旅行者跨越国界需求不断增加的情况。
