Opis

The focus of this book is on developing user interfaces that identify and verify legitimate users in real-time due to their biometric characteristics. Face and hand geometry are the biometric identifiers that are used in the applications. Application programs using these biometricidentifiers are developed in unimodal and multimodalcases. In this book, six Java applications aredeveloped to capture users'' hand and face images inreal-time, to enroll, to verify and identify them.All of the applications are designed as wizardapplications and are built upon the same scenario. Inthe face recognition, Gabor jets are used to extractfeature values of the face images. Matching the person is done according to the Gabor based feature vectors. In the hand recognition task, hand shape-based approach is applied on the hands. Hand segmentation, normalization and feature extraction are the important steps of this approach. Performanceevaluation of the system is done by both empiricaland observational methods.
