Biometric Recognition for Pet Animal

Biometric Recognition for Pet Animal

Missing, swapping, false insurance claims and reallocation of pet animals (dog) are global problems throughout the world and research done to solve this problem is minimal. Traditional biometrics and non-biometrics methods have their own boundaries and they fail to provide competent level of security to pet animal (dog). The work on animal identification based on their phenotype appearance (coa...

Biometric Recognition: An Overview

Human identifi cation leads to mutual trust that is essential for the proper functioning of society. We have been identifying fellow humans based on their voice, appearance, or gait for thousands of years. However, a systematic and scientifi c basis for human identifi cation started in the nineteenth century when Alphonse Bertillon (Rhodes and Henry 1956 ) introduced the use of a number of anth...

Biometric Gait Recognition

Psychological studies indicate that people have a small but statistically significant ability to recognize the gaits of individuals that they know. Recently, there has been much interest in machine vision systems that can duplicate and improve upon this human ability for application to biometric identification. While gait has several attractive properties as a biometric (it is unobtrusive and c...

Using Ocular Data for Unconstrained Biometric Recognition

There are several scenarios where a full facial picture cannot be obtained nor the iris properly imaged. For such cases, a good possibility might be to use the ocular region for recognition, which is a relatively new idea and is regarded as a good trade-off between using the whole face or the iris alone. The area in the vicinity of the eyes is designated as periocular and is particularly useful...
