Pattern Recognition, vol. 42, no. 9, pp. 1803-1815, September, 2009. On Estimating Performance Indices for Biometric Identification Jay Bhatnagar, Ajay Kumar Biometrics Research Laboratory Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Hauz Khas, New Delhi 110 016, INDIA Abstract This paper investigates an information theoretic approach for formulating performance in...

Biometrics is an umbrella term for methods that identify an individual based on physiological and/or behavioral characteristics such as fingerprint, face, iris, retina, vein, palm, voice, gait, signature, etc. The use of biometric systems is increasing worldwide; consequently there is a need for understanding its procedures via common biometric symbols. However, people with different background...

The different kind of characteristics of human beings such as fingerprints, palm print , facial features , iris pattern , retina and hand geometry are the personal identification and verification computing by Biometric. Such type of Biometric verification and authentication approach using the biological features inherent in each individual. This kind of Biometric identification is a technology ...

This paper proposes an enhanced method for personal authentication based on finger Knuckle Print using Gabor transform. In study shows that finger knuckle print (FKP) technique of a person can be used as a biometric trait in a biometric authentication system due to its uniqueness property. Hand-based person recognition provides a reliable, in low-cost and user-friendly viable solution for a ran...

The problem of biometric sensor interoperability has received limited attention in the literature. Most biometric systems operate under the assumption that the data (viz., images) to be compared are obtained using the same sensor and, hence, are restricted in their ability to match or compare biometric data originating from different sensors. Although progress has been made in the development o...

In the context of emerging technologies, Cloud Computing (CC) was introduced as a new paradigm to host and deliver Information Technology Services. Cloud computing is a new model for delivering resources. However, there are many critical problems appeared with cloud computing, such as data privacy, security, and reliability, etc. But security is the most important between these problems. Biomet...

A hand biometric authentication method based on measurements of the user's hand geometry and vascular pattern is proposed. To acquire the hand geometry, the thickness of the side view of the hand, the K-curvature with a hand-shaped chain code, the lengths and angles of the finger valleys, and the lengths and profiles of the fingers were used, and for the vascular pattern, the direction-based va...

In this paper we have developed a robust human identification scheme from low-resolution surveillance video footage. For establishing the human identity; we also carried out a comparative study with two multimodal biometric databases (UCMG and CASIA), two different gait databases with different complexities. For experimental validation of our scheme, we used several dimensionality reduction alg...
