Guildford, Surrey, U.K.-based OmniPerception Ltd, a supplier of computer vision capabilities specializing in facial biometrics and advanced image processing software, announced the signing of a partnership with MaxVision LLC, a provider of portable biometrics and rugged portable computers, workstations, and servers.

MaxVision is widely recognized as the leading manufacturer of portable, rugged, high performance computers.
