Abstract
Biometrics deals with identification of individuals based on their biological or behavioral characteristics. Biometrics has lately been receiving attention in popular media, it is widely believed that biometrics will become a significant component of the identification technology as (i) the prices of biometrics sensors continue to fall (ii) the underlying technology becomes more mature, and (iii) the public becomes aware of the strengths and limitations of biometrics. This chapter provides an overview of the biometrics technology and its applications and introduces the research issues underlying the biometrics.

Journal of Cognitive NeuroscienceEigenfaces for Recognition
13,775 Citations1991Matthew Turk, Alex Pentland
A near-real-time computer system that can locate and track a subject's head, and then recognize the person by comparing characteristics of the face to those of known individuals, and that is easy to implement using a neural network architecture.
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine IntelligenceHigh confidence visual recognition of persons by a test of statistical independence
3,227 Citations1993John Daugman
A method for rapid visual recognition of personal identity is described, based on the failure of a statistical test of independence, which implies a theoretical "cross-over" error rate of one in 131000 when a decision criterion is adopted that would equalize the false accept and false reject error rates.
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine IntelligenceFingerprint image enhancement: algorithm and performance evaluation
2,096 Citations1998Hong Lin, Yifei Wan +1 more
A fast fingerprint enhancement algorithm is presented, which can adaptively improve the clarity of ridge and valley structures of input fingerprint images based on the estimated local ridge orientation and frequency.
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine IntelligenceUsing discriminant eigenfeatures for image retrieval
1,630 Citations1996D.L. Swets, Juyang Weng
This paper describes the automatic selection of features from an image training set using the theories of multidimensional discriminant analysis and the associated optimal linear projection, and demonstrates the effectiveness of these most discriminating features for view-based class retrieval from a large database of widely varying real-world objects.
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine IntelligencePerson identification using multiple cues
594 Citations1995Roberto Brunelli, Daniele Falavigna
A novel technique for the integration of multiple classifiers at an hybrid rank/measurement level is introduced using HyperBF networks and two different methods for the rejection of an unknown person are introduced.
The FERET evaluation methodology for face-recognition algorithms
589 Citations2002P. Jonathon Phillips, Hyeonjoon Moon +2 more
Two of the most critical requirements in support of producing reliable face-recognition systems are a large database of facial images and a testing procedure to evaluate systems.
NatureA chemical-detecting system based on a cross-reactive optical sensor array
407 Citations1996Todd A. Dickinson, Joel White +2 more
A multi-analyte fibre-optic sensor modelled directly on the olfactory system, in the sense that complex, time-dependent signals from an array of sensors provide a 'signature' of each analyte.
IEEE SpectrumVital signs of identity [biometrics]
315 Citations1994Brooke Miller
The range of biometric systems in development or on the market including: handwriting; fingerprints; iris patterns; human faces; and speech are described.
Information Technology and PeopleHuman Identification in Information Systems
272 Citations1994Roger Clarke
Proposes that much greater use be made of schemes which are designed to afford people anonymity, or which enable them to use multiple identities or pseudonyms, while at the same time protecting the organization′s own interest.
Neural ComputationStatistical Approach to Shape from Shading: Reconstruction of Three-Dimensional Face Surfaces from Single Two-Dimensional Images
270 Citations1996Joseph J. Atick, Paul A. Griffin +1 more
It is suggested that the brain, through evolution or prior experience, has discovered that objects can be classified into lower-dimensional object-classes as to their shape, and extraction of shape from shading is then equivalent to the much simpler problem of parameter estimation in a low-dimensional space.
Lecture notes in computer scienceUsing gait as a biometric, via phase-weighted magnitude spectra
203 Citations1997David Cunado, Mark Nixon +1 more
It appears that it is not just the frequency content which makes gait a practical biometric, but its phase as well.
Proceedings of the IEEEBiometrics: privacy's foe or privacy's friend?
139 Citations1997John Douglas Woodward
This paper contends that while biometric concerns may pose legitimate privacy concerns, these issues can be adequately addressed and in the final analysis, biometrics emerges as privacy's friend.

104 Citations1997
A short history of DNA TYPING and its applications, including the Frye Standard and the Federal Rules of Evidence RFLP PCR and the State of the Debate.

Information Technology and PeopleTouching Big Brother
70 Citations1994Simon Davies
Whether or not biometry delivers on its promise of high‐quality identification, it will imperil individual autonomy and widespread application of the technologies would conflict with contemporary values, and result in a class of outcasts.
IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and CyberneticsComputer users verification using the perceptron algorithm
58 Citations1993S.A. Bleha, Mohammad S. Obaidat
The perceptron algorithm was used to verify the identity of computer users by performing the real-time measurement of the time durations between the keystrokes entered in the user's password.

55 Citations1997Josef Kittler, Ya-Ping Li +2 more
A sensitivity analysis of the various schemes to estimation errors is carried out to show that the integration scheme developed under the most restrictive assumptions — the sum rule — and its derivatives are least affected by estimation errors.
IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and CyberneticsStrategies for Distributed Decisionmaking
51 Citations1981Robert R. Tenney, N. Sandell
Several mechanisms which can be used in the real-time distributed coordination of large-scale dynamical systems which display a subsystem structure are derived and it is shown that while any of the mechanisms discussed here work well in hierarchical organizational structures, many are adaptable to much larger classes of structures.
Identification of individuals by means of facial thermography
48 Citations2003Francine J. Prokoski, Robert B. Riedel +1 more
It was demonstrated that facial thermograms are unique to the individual, and methods and systems for positive identification were developed, which are inherently more accurate and more robust over varying lighting and environment conditions than is the use of video images.
