About this event
We will begin with a brief introduction to the range of biometric technologies available, including the most common (finger, face and iris) and the more unusual, such as vein, voice and gait. We will discuss how the various biometrics differ, which are more suited to particular situations, how accuracy is calculated and why such statistics are often of little use. Taking face recognition as an example, we will review a number of applications, including time and attendance in construction and logistics, mug-shot searching for the police and uses for the passport service, airports, casinos and CCTV Presented by Dr Thomas Heseltine.
