Biometrics

[|Biometrics] - the techniques for authentication which rely on measurable characteristics that can be automatically checked. Different aspects of biometrics include biometric data, matching and verification.
 * [|Biometric identification] (video 1:55) - Biometric screening is being used increasingly across the world as authorities and travel operaters attempt to boost security and clamp down on identity fraud.
 * [|face recognition] - uses images of a person's face for recognition and identification.
 * [|voice recognition] - computer systems that can recognize spoken words. Voice recognition can take dictation, but does not understand what is being said.
 * [|eye track] - a combination of an eye-tracker device (small video camera) to capture a person's eye motion or point of gaze, and software, which is used to record and analyze the digital images from the device. Eye tracking technology may be used as a replacement for a computer mouse, or in marketing, it is used for measuring and analyzing how people interact with products.

[|direct fingerprint reader] (fingerprint scanner or fingerprint reader) - a biometrics device that uses automated methods of recognizing a person based on unique physical characteristics of a person's fingerprint. A fingerprint is made up of a pattern of ridges and furrows as well as characteristics that occur at minutiae points (ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending). Fingerprint scanning provides an identification of a person based on the acquisition and recognition (or verification) of those unique patterns and ridges in a fingerprint. Fingerprint devices are by far the most popular form of biometric security used.
