Biometrics Role in Security System implementation
... Group supports advancement of technically efficient and compatible biometric technology solutions on a national and international basis. It consists of over 90 organizations representing biometric vendors, system developers, information assurance organizations, commercial end users, universities, government agencies, national labs and industry organizations Many companies have developed software that uses complex algorithms to do facial recognition. NIST researchers have designed tests to measure the accuracy and reliability of these software programs in matching facial patterns, using both still and video images This program will produce standard measurements of accuracy for biometric systems, standard XML-based scoring software, and accuracy measurements for specific biometrics required for the system scenarios mandated under the Border Security Act. This work will have wide impact beyond the mandated systems; standard test methods are likely to be accepted as international standards, and discussions are under way concerning the use of these same standards for airport security. To select the ri...
