Biometric passport

For years, biometric authentication has been seen in movies and television shows as a purely fictional piece of technology. However, in the past two decades, biometric authentication has become so common is it everywhere from phones, to computers, and even national digital based identification systems. There are still concerns about the privacy that this type of identification may lack. There are three major categories of authentication: what you know, what you have, and what you are. (See…

Biometric Patient Identification Systems. For proper management of any healthcare facility, efficient management and maintenance of a comprehensive patient database is crucial. With the evolution of technology, management of a manual patient database is no longer tenable. Therefore, many healthcare facilities have resorted to more technologically oriented, faster, accurate and efficient systems of patient management. Key among these patient management systems has been biometric patient…

The past decade has seen the rapid development of iris identification in many approaches to identify unique iris features such as crypts. However, it is noted that, unique iris feature change due to iris aging, diet or human health conditions. The changing of iris features creates the mismatch in comparison phase to determine either genuine or not genuine. Therefore, to determine genuinely, this study proposes a new model of iris recognition using combinational approach of a split block and…

This section describes the algorithm used for traffic light and road sign detection. It also provides the hardware components used to provide output. In the proposed system, initially input image was obtained in RGB form and converted to gray scale and finally to binary images. This said to be pre-processing of images. Then filtering was performed for removal of noise from images. Color of traffic light was detected based on threshold values. Hough transform was done for the detection of shape…

2a. The computer based innovation represented by my computational artifact is called Myris. Myris is a biometric security system that scans one’s iris to algorithmically process video images of the user’s eye signing them into secure websites, devices and other personal profiles. The intended purpose of Myris is to eliminate the utilization of standard passwords and to create a secure and foolproof method for accessing personal data. Simply put, “It lets anyone sign into accounts on websites or…

uniqueness in shape, size, and pattern. According to the JCDR, “Ear biometrics can positively identify an individual using comparative analysis of the human ear and its morphology” (Verma, et al., 2016). The researchers who conducted this study mentioned that there comes a time when the ear is fully formed and doesn’t change until death. They found that ear prints can be used to identify culprits the way fingerprints can.…

Scientists in artificial intelligence want computers work like human being. More similarity between computer and human being means the strength of intelligence of computer. Although none of current computer can implement a “strong” artificial intelligence, higher levels in “weak” artificial intelligence are still big achievement in science of artificial intelligence. As we cannot let machines have their own idea, we could design complex algorithm to simulate the human being. So, what does human…

Biometrics are defined as systems that are used to verify and identify people using their physical features (such as their faces and fingerprints) and also their behavioral characteristics (such as their handwriting) [1]. The field of biometrics is becoming more and more relevant these days as the need to enhance security systems and to solve crime mysteries has become one of the main focuses in the research industry. Biometrics is a broad field on its own because of its wide range of…

seeking asylum around the world and the potential for terrorists to infiltrate our borders using fake Syrian credentials. It’s a starting point and as a pilot program its intent is to “determine functional and technical requirements for a multi-modal biometric…

The House of Usher: A Glove A glove can only be of use when a hand is inside. When a hand is inserted into a glove, it is able to achieve the purpose for which it was created. Some of these purposes are protection, warmth, and style. Without a hand, a glove is nothing; limp, lifeless, and useless. The glove in this analogy represents the mansion in the short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe. The hand would then represent the inhabitants of the house. When the Ushers…
