QUESTION
Biometrics stands for:
The measurement of nuclear weapons
Life-measurements
The study of whether house hold plants will someday become a tree
Measuring size of DNA strands
INTRODUCTION TO BIOMETRICS
Biometrics (“Bio-“ stands for life and“metric” is to measure)
INTRODUCTION TO BIOMETRICS
“Biometric is using a computer to recognized physical and behavior characteristics of a human. These trait are captured by a computer and used to make one-to-one authentication and one-to-many comparison based on unique features[Visonics, 2001]”
QUESTION
Biometrics was first used:
During the first DPS Session
In the first James Bond Movie
Prehistoric times
During the Nixon Administration
HISTORY OF BIOMETRICS
Biometrics was used during prehistoric times.
Chinese used fingerprinting in the 14th Century for identification.
In the 17th century fingerprinting was used to seal official documents.
TYPES OF BIOMETRICS
Finger prints
Retina Scans
Iris Scans
Voice recognition
Face recognition.
TYPES OF BIOMETRICS
Other forms of emerging Biometrics:
thermal scans
DNA (actually actively used in forensics)
Signatures
hand geometry
ear structure
heart rhythm
INTRO TO FACE RECOGNITION
Face recognition is the capturing of a facial image, which is then transformed into a unique face print
The image is transformed using a technique called “elastic graph matching”.
Algebraic algorithms are used to make a perfect match.
Images are sent to a back-end database for comparison and possible matches.
