In this paper, biometric security system for access control based on hand geometry is presented. Biometric technologies are becoming the foundation of an extensive array of highly secure identification and personal verification solutions. Experiments show that the physical dimensions of a human hand contain information that is capable to verify the identity of an individual. The database create...

Rapid development of smart technologies enables use of cloud service for large-scale data storage. Remote access of original data as well as biometric data from cloud storage enhances several challenges. It is inevitable to prevent unauthorized access of data stored in cloud. Biometrics authentication is more efficient than the known traditional authentication mechanisms. Authentication is a ma...

Voice biometrics under mismatched noise conditions i ABSTRACT This thesis describes research into effective voice biometrics (speaker recognition) under mismatched noise conditions. Over the last two decades, this class of biometrics has been the subject of considerable research due to its various applications in such areas as telephone banking, remote access control and surveillance. One of th...

The phenomenon of writing reflects developed fine motor skills of a person. Specially, the dynamics of writing can be used for the characterization of the individual writer or written object. Person authentication based on the dynamics of handwriting on pad and in air using biometric Smart Pen (BiSP) device are presented in this paper. We regard hand movement with pen in space as handwriting (o...

Biometric systems allow identification of individuals based on behavioral or physiological characteristics. In this paper we explore biometric applications in access control of haptic systems. These systems produce information on human computer interaction behavior of a specific participant and could potentially be unique. This paper proposes a novel design based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM). ...

Keystroke biometrics (KB) authentication systems are a less popular form of access control, although they are gaining popularity. In recent years, keystroke biometric authentication has been an active area of research due to its low cost and ease of integration with existing security systems. Various researchers have used different methods and algorithms for data collection, feature representat...

This paper describes the deployment of speech technologies in STARHome, a fully functional smart home prototype. We make use of speech and speaker recognition technologies to provide three voice services, namely, voice command for controlling home appliances, voice biometric for entrancedoor access control, and service customization (speaker-loaded command control). Several ergonomic constraint...

In this paper a contour matching based face recognition system is proposed, which uses “Fourier Descriptor of contour” for identification of faces. The feasibility of using contour and FD’s matching for human face identification is presented through experiment. The Fourier descriptor is used to describe the boundary of a shape in 2 dimensional space.The advantage of using the Fourier descriptor...

Benichou and Gail (1995, Biometrics 51, 182-194) describe methods for estimating the absolute risk of developing disease given a set of covariate values over a specified time interval from a case-control study within a cohort. The methods are most suitable for unmatched case-control studies, and are restricted to categorical covariates. Expanding on methods for estimating relative mortality fro...
