From Biometrics Technology to Applications Regarding Face, Voice, Signature and Fingerprint Recognition Systems

  • Chapter
Biometric Solutions

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 697))

Abstract

In this chapter, several biometric recognition systems, based on voice, fingerprint, face and signature are presented. The description of the state-of-the-art technologies regarding these biometric characteristics is widely faced. Minutiae extraction-based fingerprint matching, GMM-based speaker verification, on-line HMM-based signature verification, and PCA- or LDA-based face recognition are quoted. We will also focus on multimodality and data fusion in biometric systems; finally, some application strategies and some real-world demos are described.
