Investigation of Two Licensed Biometric Products

1
Investigation of Two Licensed Biometric Products

• Using Neurotechnologys VeriLook and VeriFinger
  software

2
What is Biometrics?

• The application of statistical analysis to
  biological data
• Extracts certain features, analyzes them, and by
  using algorithms, identifies data matches
• Extractable features include face, fingerprint,
  iris, retina, voice, hands and DNA

Software Used

• Neurotechnologys VeriLook 4.0 and VeriFinger 6.3
• System requirments
• PC or Mac with processor of 1GHz or better
• Microsoft Windows 2000 or newer
• Mac OS X Tiger or newer

How does it work?

• VeriLook
• Facial detection
• Distance between eyes, face length/width, etc.
• VeriFinger
• Distance between lines, degree of curves and
  patterns
