Biometric Systems - Technology, Design and Performance Evaluation is a reference book for anyone involved in the design, management or implementation of biometric systems, and provides all the information needed to a build reliable system. It focuses on the four most widely used types of biometric technology - speech, fingerprint, iris and face recognition. It is the only book to cover the implementation of test procedures, thus making it an invaluable resource for anyone working in this field.

The only book to cover the implementation of test procedures (including the most comprehensive set of biometric test results ever undertaken) Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
