Biometrics

Building Management Systems The building management system is meant to control all the electrical and electronic equipment in a building (Shang et. al, 2014). The building management system produced by Digi Tech is the Safe Home D34. This product is still in the prototyping stage, thus will be available for sale after 3 months. The advantages of this product is that is compatible with all security and energy systems produced by the company. The Safe Home D34 will enable the customers to control…

Regardless of pubic opinion, these new technologies and methods are meant to protect and secure the Homeland, and are here to…

During postmortem fingerprint recovery, the decedent’s fingers may be difficult if decomposition and other postmortem changes occurred (Mulawka and Miller, 2014). 2) Palm print Two possible biometric features can be extracted from human hands. First, hand-shape geometrical features such as finger width, length, and thickness. Second feature involves the principle lines, wrinkles, and ridges on a palm. Comparing with the palm shape features of…

Unlike many other biometrics, face recognition is a Passive process that doesn't need the user's cooperation; this characteristic makes the face recognition very valuable for the surveillance and crimes solution purposes. But there are some drawbacks with face first: the face features are not permanent, it changes over age. Second: It is not accurate for Identical twins. Some challenges could face the face recognition process like the facial expressions, pose and illumination. Many researchers…

In the future, an all-in-one platform will be provided to the cops that will cater all the requirements of a cop. The policemen will be provided with a direct access to biometric data of the particular region so that concealing ones identity becomes nearly impossible for anyone. The already existing biometric data storage and identification process has many loop holes. It is predicted that in future this technology will be improved to higher levels ensuring personal privacy intact…
