"A Survey on Biometric Systems"

By Miss Xia Wu


Abstract:

A wide variety of systems require reliable personal recognition schemes to
confirm or determine the identity of an individual requesting their
services. Biometrics, which refers to verification or identification based
on physiological or behavioral characteristics, is being increasingly
adopted to provide personal recognition with a high degree of confidence.
In this survey, we present a brief overview of the field of biometrics,
various unimodal biometric technologies, limitations of unimodal biometric
systems, as well as the multimodal biometric recognition technologies.
