Biometrics and Current technology
[attachment=29764]
Biometric Identification Technologies
Utilizing biometrics for personal authentication is becoming convenient and considerably more accurate than current methods (passwords or PINs). Complex passwords are easy to forget while simple passwords are easily guessed by unauthorized persons
Some BI Technologies include:
facial recognition
digital fingerprinting
hand geometry
iris and retina scanning
voice recognition
Face Recognition
Automatic face recognition has great potential in a large array of application areas, including:
banking and security system access control, video surveillance, mug-shot matching for law enforcement, duplicate ID card detection, and multimedia information retrieval, etc
Another version of FR is sketch-based face recognition which enables us to search through a photo database using a sketch drawing
Fingerprint scanning
There are a greater variety of fingerprint devices available than any other biometric.
This type of ID cannot easily be forgotten, misplaced, lost, or stolen and is the front-runner for mass-market biometric-ID systems
Has a high degree of accuracy as it looks at the subsurface (below the top layers of skin) of the finger.
Hand Geometry
It has been in existence for nearly 20 years used to measure specific characteristics of a person's hand
Hand geometry devices employed today take over 90 measurements of the length, width, thickness, and surface area of a persons hand and fingers
