The Enrollment, Identification and Verification process shown
Along of various biometrics techniques, In the past few in the Fig. 1
decades, human-beings have been addicted to various
technologies such as captured photos, scanned signatures, bar
code systems, verification Id & so on. Also, Biometrics is one
of the applications in Image processing which refers to
technologies that used physiological or behavioral
characteristics of human body for the user authentication. The
biometric authentication system based on two modes:
Enrolment and Recognition. In the enrolment mode, the
biometric data is acquired from the sensor and stored in a
database along with the person’s identity for the recognition.
In the recognition mode, the biometric data is re-acquired
from the sensor and compared to the stored data to determine
the user identity.
Biometric recognition based on uniqueness and
permanence. The uniqueness means that there is no similarity
of feature between two different biometrics data. For example,
there are no two humans having the same fingerprint feature
even if they are twins. And when the features of biometrics do Fig.1.Process of Enrollment, identification and verification
