The Challenges of the Environment and the Human / Biometric Device Interaction on Biometric System Performance

This paper outlines various research projects that have been conducted at Purdue University in the areas of environment, population, and devices. These areas are of interest as biometric technologies are currently being implemented in various business applications. The environmental research is concerned with the performance of a facial recognition algorithm at differing illumination levels. The second study looks at population, which examines differences in image quality with regard to population age. The third study outlines dynamic signature verification and the issues associated with signing on different digitizers.
