Analyzing the periocular biometric-based access control systems

Biometrics is a widely studied topic for security applications or identity identification. This project had focused on primarily on studying a small region around the eye known as the periocular region as a supplementary biometric. This is the region that includes eyelids, lashes and eyebrows. A few previous studies had proven that periocular biometrics has applied as an independent recognition system under unconstrained scenarios. The biometric data for this region can be easily obtained with existing setups used face and iris recognition. In this project, the data and information was gathered mainly through two methods which were the observation and review on other documentations related to the system. The qualitative research was performed through observation and surveys related to the system. The samples was obtained in a way that the cooperation from the subject or participant was informal while interaction with the biometric system was facilitated. the prototype generated alternative way to allow access to the system using the periocular biometric

Recent Advances in Biometric Technology for Mobile Devices

International audienceThe prevalent commercial deployment of mobile biometrics as a robust authentication method on mobile devices has fueled increasingly scientific attention. Motivated by this, in this work we seek to provide insight on recent development in mobile biometrics. We present parallels and dissimilarities of mobile biometrics and classical biometrics, enumerate related benefits and challenges. Further we provide an overview of recent techniques in mobile biometrics, as well as application systems adopted by industry. Finally, we discuss open research problems in this field
