Biometric Technologies and Verification Systems

Discusses advances in biometric verification/authentication, identification and system design principles. This book provides a step-by-step discussion of how biometrics works; how biometric data in human beings can be collected and analyzed in a number of ways; and, how to create detailed menus for designing a biometric verification system.
