Application of Image Processing in Biometrics Recognition

Biometric-based identification and verification systems are poised to become a key technology, with applications. Biometric systems should provide a reliable personal recognition/verification which cannot be fooled by fraudulent impostors. As a biometric system relies on what you are or what you do rather than what you possess (a Personal Identification Number or a Password) to establish the identity of the individual, it is much more robust than other traditional recognition/verification schemes. In this book, a brief overview of biometric methods are presented.
