Biometric Recognition: Personal Identification Technique
Zatin Singhal, Preeti Gupta, Kavita Garg · 2012
The recent advances of information technology and the increasing requirement for security have led to a rapid development of intelligent personal identification systems based on biometrics. As humans, we all use our natural abilities to recognize people through their voices, faces and other characteristics. Technology advances, particularly in biometrics, are helping to close the gap between human perception and machine recognition. A priority goal of the use of biometrics is to provide identity assurance or the capability to accurately recognize individuals with greater reliability. Biometric recognition or, simply, biometrics refers to an automatic recognition of individuals based on their physiological and/or behavioral characteristics. This paper gives a brief overview of biometric, biometric recognition system, and various biometric recognition methods and their advantages, and disadvantages.
