<p>A two-dimensional, printed pattern for encoding multiple biometrics and text for off-line identity verification comprises a horizontal header section which encodes the number of bit areas in a transverse row of the encoded data portion; a vertical header section encodes the vertical height of each bit area. The start and stop patterns of the code demarcate the beginning and end from the adjacent quiet zone. Information is encoded into an information portion in bit areas that may be printed or blank. Error correction is applied to subunits of information. The pattern may be printed on a conventionally sized ISO cord used in verifying identity. Such a cord may be used with an apparatus that is capable of decoding the image and fingerprint samples taken from an individual whose identity is sought to be verified.</p> |
