VisImage Systems Inc. (VIS) is proud to announce the release of the AutoPASS, an Automated Body Measurement System which provides measurements for both the standing and seated postures, along with pilot and airframe candidacy.

As per development coordination with DRDC-Toronto (Defence Research Development Canada), the AutoPASS integrates BoSS Combo and PASS (pilot anthropometric screening system), while now providing a graphical user interface for the PASS. The system was implemented with .NET and Matlab libraries to evaluate the BoSS scanned records for the pilot along with the air-frame candidacy. In addition PASS may now be run as a standalone program with a DRDC-Toronto design approved graphical user interface.

This release of AutoPASS is a key component in the new Canadian Air Force (CAF) pilot screening system, which is the first in the world to digitally measure each pilot candidate and determine which aircraft the candidate is eligible to fly. In the past, all-or-nothing criteria restricted eligibility to a fraction of the interested candidates, but by comparing the actual measures of each candidate with the operational requirements of each aircraft, the doors have been opened, and many more men and women can be trained to fly those aircraft.

In addition to pilot screening, this technology can be used to screen for candidates for any occupation where there are operational demands requiring people fall within a certain range of sizes. Examples include army, navy, emergency response, airline pilots, and heavy equipment operators.
