Overview • What is Biometrics? • Types of Biometric Recognition • Applications of Biometric Systems • Types of Authentication • Constraints on Biometrics • Biometric Research at Clemson
What is Biometrics? • Automated method for recognizing individuals based on measurable biological and behavioral characteristics
Finger Print Recognition • Minutiae • Pattern Matching • Problems: sometimes unusable
Vascular Pattern Matching • LED infrared light • Fingers and back of hand • Not completely viable
Iris Recognition • Uses infrared light • Converts Images to vectors • Needs further development
Facial Recognition • Location and position of facial features • Dependent on background and lighting conditions
Voice Verification • Factors: pitch, intensity, quality and duration • Text dependent • Text independent • Problems: include background noise
Hand Geometry • Scan both sides of hand • Primarily used for verification • Not as accurate as other methods
Dynamic Signature • Factors: velocity, acceleration and speed • Mainly used for verification • Problems: forgers could reproduce
Retina Recognition • One of the most secure means of biometrics • Unique to each person • Unique to each eye • Problems: require effort on the part of subjects
Other Types • Keystroke • Gait • DNA • Odor
Commercial Applications • Computer login • Electronic Payment • ATMs • Record Protection
Government Applications • Passport control • Border control • Access Control
Forensic Applications • Missing Persons • Corpse identification • Criminal investigations
Type of Authentication • Authentication • 1:1 • Verification • 1:N
Constraints on Biometrics • Typical “Constrained” Image • Constraints: • Lighting • Distance • Pose • Expression • Time Lapse • Occlusion
Constraints on Biometrics • “Unconstrained” Image
Biometrics Research at Clemson • Biometric and Pattern Recognition Lab • Goals: • Usable Biometrics • Unconstrained Biometrics
Biometrics Research at Clemson • Aging Research
Biometrics Research at Clemson • Demographics • Older vs. Younger • Males vs. Females • Geographic origin of algorithms
Biometrics Research at Clemson • Periocular Region Recognition • Texture, color, eye shape • Overcome facial occlusion
Biometrics Research at Clemson • Ear Recognition • Not affected by aging or expression • Covert collection of images • Little research performed
Conclusion • Questions?
