Biometric Systems Design and Applications

r /> Biometric Systems Design and Applications



Biometric authentication has been widely used for access
control and security systems over the past few years. The purpose
of this book is to provide the readers with life cycle of different
biometric authentication systems from their design and development
to qualification and final application. The major systems discussed in
this book include fingerprint identification, face recognition, iris
segmentation and classification, signature verification and other
miscellaneous systems which describe management policies of
biometrics, reliability measures, pressure based typing and
signature verification, bio-chemical systems and behavioral
characteristics. In summary, this book provides the students and
the researchers with different approaches to develop biometric
authentication systems and at the same time includes state-of-the-
art approaches in their design and development. The approaches
have been thoroughly tested on standard databases and in real
world applications.
