An introduction to biometric recognition systems, which utilize the physiological and/or behavioral characteristics of an individual for identification. Students study the design of various biometric systems based on fingerprints, face, iris, voice, hand geometry, palmprint, retina, and other modalities. The performance of biometric systems and security-related issues of these systems are discussed. Multimodal biometric systems using two or more of the above human characteristics are also discussed.
