New Biometric Modalities are on the Horizon

The Rise of Alternative Biometric Modalities Over Over the the past past few few decades decades biometric biometric technology technology has has been been extensively extensively used used for for bonding bonding digital digital data data to to our our identity identity with with permanency, permanency, consistency, consistency, and and unambiguity unambiguity in in both both the the government government and and private private sectors. sectors.

Most Popular Biometric Modalities - Fingerprint - Palm Vein

Most Auspicious Biometric Modalities - Finger Vein - Facial Recognition - Iris

Finger Vein The idea of finger vein recognition is relatively younger then fingerprint or facial recognition. Finger vein technology uses pattern-recognition techniques based on images of human finger vein patterns beneath the skinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface.

Facial Recognition The facial recognition technology has already proved its necessity and effectiveness while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being used by 80% of the airports that manages about 30 million passengers annually. Mobile biometric devices are also using in field level identification like law enforcement.

Iris It is an automated method of biometric identification that uses mathematical pattern-recognition techniques to identify an individual by analyzing the random pattern of their iris and is widely considered the most accurate biometric modality on the market.

Other Biometric Modalities in Development Stage - Gait Recognition - Heartbeat Recognition - Ear Recognition - Gesture Recognition - Lip Recognition

New Biometric Modalities are on the Horizon

S Mahbubur Rahman

There are countless distinguishing behavioral traits and physical attributes which make each of us unique individuals. Biometrics is a science that identifies and captures these characteristics converting them into templates that can be read by biometric hardware devices and interpreted by back end identification matching software as authentication proxies of our physical selves in the digital realm. Over the past few decades biometric technology has been extensively used for bonding digital data to our identity with permanency, consistency, and unambiguity in both the government and private sectors. Although most of the advancements in the field of biometrics (i.e. fingerprint, palm vein and facial recognition which are field-proven in large-scale deployments) have already come to fruition, some attractive and striking new biometric modalities (e.g. finger vein, iris and voice recognition, DNA, etc.) are evoking public interest. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most auspicious biometric modalities.
