Guardian Technologies International, Inc. (OTCBB: GDTI), the
homeland security subsidiary of Applied Visual Sciences, Inc.
(OTCBB: APVS), congratulates the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security and NEMA on the completion and publication of the
essential new security standard, DICOS. This standard will enhance
security screening and threat assessment processes across multiple
vendor platforms at all critical infrastructure locations
(airports, buildings, mass transit, ports, rail, and nuclear power
plants) and other venues where large numbers of people congregate.
"We are pleased to have played a role in the development of this
vitally important standard. DICOS allows our PinPoint automated
target recognition (ATR) software to be a relevant, integrable
component of all security screening environments," said GDTI's
President and COO, Bill Donovan. "Based on our knowledge of the
healthcare standard, DICOM, GDTI is well positioned to immediately
capitalize on the emerging opportunities presented by this new
standard."
The DICOS Standard immediately addresses the receipt of digital
images and related information generated by computed tomography
(CT) and digital x-ray (DX) baggage scanners for both checked and
checkpoint luggage. While a standard has not been developed for
whole-body imagers, DHS and NEMA plan to undertake such an effort
in the very near future, thereby enabling a total security
information environment capable of sophisticated data fusion. DICOS
creates, for the first time, a security environment that will match
the best imaging hardware with the most sophisticated algorithmic
detection software to eliminate the shortcomings of human visual
inspection and increase passenger and infrastructure safety.
