Systems Council Distinguished Virtual Lecture Series (2/3) | Biometric Systems Design by Prof Vincenzo Piuri, IEEE Region 8 Director
The actual use of biometric techniques needs to take into account the accuracy required in person identification or the behavior analysis, as well as a variety of characteristics encompassing costs, usability, and user acceptance. Besides, advanced techniques for signal and image analysis are needed to better capture the identification process from data.
This talk will focus the attention on the overall system design approach for biometric-based applications as well as on the use of artificial intelligence for implementing flexible biometric solutions.
