In recent years face recognition has received significant attention from both research communities and society of network multimedia information access. Major progress and immense range of biometric applications in banking, national identity, law enforcement, immigration, and logical access control have projected face recognition technology into the spotlight. Though earlier, simple geometric m...

bstract. We provide a survey of hand biometric techniques in the iterature and incorporate several novel results of hand-based peronal identification and verification. We compare several feature ets in the shape-only and shape-plus-texture categories, emphaizing the relevance of a proper hand normalization scheme in the uccess of any biometric scheme. The preference of the left and ight hands o...

Biometric templates are often used in intelligent human computer interaction systems that include automated access control and personalization of user interaction. The effectiveness of biometric systems is directly linked with aging that causes modifications on biometric features. For example the long term performance of person identification systems decreases as biometric templates derived fro...

This paper presents the design and the architecure implementation of a system, which provides an user access control framework by means of multiple authentication methods. The user description is provided according to the semantic web standard architecture, based on two different kind of metadata: profile and context. Biometric technology guarantees the maximal level of security, and it allows ...

Biometrics has become a popular field for the development of techniques that aim at recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. In particular, many solutions dedicated to access control integrate biometric features like fingerprinting or face recognition. This paper describes a new method designed to interpret what happens when crossing an invisible vertic...

Biometrics are traditionally employed in user authentication and authorization mechanisms. The vast majority of research effort focuses on applications of biometrics in authentication, aiming to replace passwords as the access control mechanism for cryptographic keys in one way or another. However, the inherent variability in biometrics presents a readily available source of randomness, which, ...

Biometric signatures, or biometrics, are used to identify individuals by measuring certain unique physical and behavioral characteristics. Individuals must be identified to allow or prohibit access to secure areas—or to enable them to use personal digital devices such as, computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), or mobile phone. Virtually all biometric methods are implemented using the follo...

Biometrics is the word derived from Greek words ―Bio‖ means (life) & ―Metrics‖ means (to measure). Biometrics is the science of measuring human characteristics for the purpose of authenticating or identify ing the identity of an individual. Biometrics System is used for automated recognition of an individual. In Informat ion system in particu lar b iometrics is used as a form of identity access...
