Biometrics and AI: challenges and opportunities
Once typically used for critical applications and services, biometric technologies are now pervasively permeating our everyday life enabling seamless and convenient identification, authentication, as well as service assistance, from business to leisure.
Artificial intelligence has been shown effective to extract the relevant knowledge from biometric data in order to increase the performance and deal with less-constrained, unconstrained, and on-the-move acquisition of biometric traits. Besides, modern AI approaches have been developed to distill characteristic information without a priori knowledge of the specific features which are relevant to perform identification and authentication. This allows for expanding the spectrum of applications in daily life, also in difficult environmental conditions. Besides, learning from data allows for higher flexibility and accuracy through operation adaptation.
