Description
Springer Biometric Systems: Technology, Design And Performance Evaluation by James Wayman and Anil Jain and Dario Maio and Davide Maltoni
Biometric Systems: Technology, Design and Performance Evaluation This book provides practitioners with an overview of the principles & methods needed to build reliable biometric systems. It covers 3 main topics: key biometric technologies, testing & management issues, & the legal and system considerations of biometric systems for personal verification/identification. It focuses on the 4 most widely used technologies - speech, fingerprint, iris & face recognition. It includes: In-depth coverage of the technical and practical obstacles which are often neglected by application developers & system integrators & which result in shortfalls between expected and actual performance Detailed guidelines on biometric system evaluation Protocols & benchmarks which will allow developers to compare performance & track system improvements. Biometric Systems - Technology, Design and Performance Evaluation is intended as a reference book for anyone involved in the design, management or implementation of biometric systems. About the Author: James L. Wayman, Anil K. Jain, Davide Maltoni, Dario Maio Dr. James Wayman and Prof. Anil Jain are two of the leading experts in the field. Dr. James Wayman is the Director of the US National Biometric Test Center.
