Most of the biometric research being done is for adults and the identification accuracy of new born are least reported in the literatures. In this paper we propose a novel biometric identification method for new born babies using their face and soft biometrics. Accurate patient identification (ID) is essential for patient safety, especially with our smallest and most vulnerable podiatric patien...

What information is available in biometric features besides that needed for the biometric recognition process? What if a biometric feature contains Personally Identifiable Information? Will the whole biometric system become a threat to privacy? This paper is an attempt to quantifiy the link between biometrics and privacy. For a number of biometric-personal(ity) combinations, the availability, d...

an f2 japanese quail population was developed by crossing two strains (wild and white) to map quantitative trait loci (qtl) for performance and carcass traits. a total of 472 f2 birds were reared and slaughtered at 42 days of age. performance and carcass traits were measured on all of the f2 individuals. parental (p0), f1 and f2 individuals were genotyped with 3 microsatellites from quail chrom...

Abstract In 1999 Juels and Wattenberg introduced the fuzzy commitment scheme. Fuzzy commitment is a particular realization of a binary biometric secrecy system with a chosen secret key. Three cases of biometric sources are considered, i.e. memoryless and totally-symmetric biometric sources, memoryless and input-symmetric biometric sources, and memoryless biometric sources. It is shown that fuzz...

The paper presents a multimodal approach for biometric authentication, based on multiple classifiers. The proposed solution uses a post-classification biometric fusion method in which the biometric data classifiers outputs are combined in order to improve the overall biometric system performance by decreasing the classification error rates. The paper shows also the biometric recognition task im...

One of them is this book advances in biometric person authentication international workshop on biometric recognition systems iwbrs 2005 beijing china october 22 23 2005...

Biometric Encryption (BE) is a group of emerging technologies that securely bind a digital key to a biometric or generate a digital key from the biometric, so that no biometric image or template is stored.What is stored is the BE template otherwise known as a ‘‘bio-metrically encrypted key’’ or ‘‘helper data.’’ As a result, neither the digital key nor the biometric can be retrieved from the sto...

Now a days Security of computer science and information technology is an important issue. Authentication and identification are related to the security. The traditional methods for confirming person identity involve use of ATM, Pins, and Password which can be lost or stolen. So it is needed to have a system which provide security and overcome the limitations of traditional methods. A biometric ...

PURPOSE To compare the distributional parameters for a series of ocular biometric traits between twins and their singleton siblings, to evaluate the generalizability of twin data, as used in heritability analyses to the general population. METHODS A series of birth, anthropometric, and 13 ocular biometric traits were selected for analysis: interpupillary distance (IPD), visual acuity (logMAR)...
