Biometric Systems: Technology, Design and Performance Evaluation

by James L. Wayman (Editor), Anil K. Jain (Editor), Davide Maltoni (Editor)

Biometric Systems provides practitioners with an overview of the principles and methods needed to build reliable biometric systems. It covers three main key biometric technologies, design and management issues, and the performance evaluation of biometric systems for personal verification/identification. The four most widely used technologies are focused on - speech, fingerprint, iris and face recognition. Key features in-depth coverage of the technical and practical obstacles which are often neglected by application developers and system integrators and which result in shortfalls between expected and actual performance; and protocols and benchmarks which will allow developers to compare performance and track system improvements.
