Biometrics deals with the identification of people based on their physiological or behavioural characteristics. It could use traits like fingerprints, face, hand geometry, handwriting or speech. The primary focus of research is on improving the performance of popular biometric modalities and to develop computer vision and machine learning based solutions to biometric problems.
Specific activities in this area include:
* Camera-based Biometrics
* Enhancing Weak Biometrics
* Writer Identification
* Scalability issues in biometric databases.
