Riassunto

This practically-focused text presents a hands-on guide to making biometric technology work in real-life scenarios. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition takes a fresh look at what it takes to integrate biometrics into wider applications. An emphasis is placed on the importance of a complete understanding of the broader scenario, covering technical, human and implementation factors. This understanding may then be exercised through interactive chapters dealing with educational software utilities and the BANTAM Program Manager. Features: provides a concise introduction to biometrics; examines both technical issues and human factors; highlights the importance of a broad understanding of biometric technology implementation from both a technical and operational perspective; reviews a selection of freely available utilities including the BANTAM Program Manager; considers the logical next steps on the path from aspiration to implementation, and looks towards the future use of biometrics in context.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This practically-focused text presents a hands-on guide to making biometric technology work in real-life scenarios. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition takes a fresh look at what it takes to integrate biometrics into wider applications. An emphasis is placed on the importance of a complete understanding of the broader scenario, covering technical, human and implementation factors. This understanding may then be exercised through interactive chapters dealing with educational software utilities and the BANTAM Program Manager.

Topics and features:

• Provides a concise introduction to biometrics, what they are and how they are typically used
• Examines both the technical issues involved with the deployment of biometric technology, and the human factors that affect biometric application performance
• Highlights the importance of a broad understanding of biometric technology implementation from both a technical and an operational perspective
• Reviews a selection of freely available utilities that demonstrate key technical factors associated with biometric identity validation
• Describes how to manage projects using the BANTAM Program Manager software, which is available to download from an associated website
• Considers the logical next steps on the path from aspiration to implementation, and looks towards the future use of biometrics in context

A must-read reference for anyone involved in implementing biometric identity validation, this accessible guidebook supplies invaluable educational tools to aid developers of related applications. Those with a general interest in this subject will also benefit from the book s unique, holistic approach to understanding biometric technology and its societal consequences.
