Biometric technologies for automated border control
Lecturer: Vincenzo Piuri, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy
Automation of border control gates, as well as easy identification in a variety of daily-life applications (ranging, e.g., from home banking to e-commerce and e-government), requires a high degree of confidence in the identification. Modern solutions are based on biometric technologies to ensure standard quality in operation, by mimicking the usual activities performed by humans in identifying individuals. Biometric technologies allow in fact for efficiently analyzing human traits (e.g., face, fingerprint, iris, palm) for identity management.
This talk will analyze the opportunities offered by emerging biometric technologies and their use for identity verification and recognition in automated border control systems and in many other critical applications. These technologies aim at increasing the usability of biometric systems and reducing the needs for carefully-controlled environment for biometry collection. Focus will be on less-constrained and contactless fingerprint, palmprint, and iris.
