INTRODUCTION

Human identification has generally been carried out by utilizing ID cards and passwords. Such techniques can be violated easily. Passwords can be guessed and ID cards can be robbed, rendering them temperamental [Jain et al. 2006].

Biometrics is defined as a process of identifying a person identity on the basis of physiological and behavioral features; it is capable of differentiating between the genuine person and the fake one. A biometric system is that system which identifies data of the person, by fetching the set of features and verifying it with the set stored in the database, which is dependent on the application context. An individual’s identity can be found out in two ways: Identification and verification. Working of biometric system is divided into eight stages (Liu and Silverman 2001). First, capturing the biometrics. Second, processing, enrolling and extraction of biometric template. Third, storing the data in tokens such as smart card. Fourth, lively scan the selected biometric. Fifth, processing of biometric and extraction of biometric template. Sixth, matching of biometric with the stored one. Seventh, matching score is being provided to the business application. Eighth, recording of correct audit train in regards to the system. Processing of biometric system is shown below:

MAIN MODULE

BIOMETRIC SYSTEM

A biometric system is basically an example of acknowledgment framework that works by obtaining biometric information from an individual, processing the procured information, and comparing it against the layout set in the database. Based on the application setting, a biometric framework may work either in check mode or distinguishing proof model.

  • In the mode of verification, the system approves an individual’s identity by comparing the captured biometric features with the individual’s biometric template stored in the framework database. In this system, a person who aims to be positively identified claims a factor – generally by means of an individual distinguishing proof number (PIN) or a user name – then the framework system conducts a one-to-one comparison to decide whether the claim is true or not. This mode aims to answer the question “is this person whom he/she claims to be”.

  • In the mode of identification, the individual’s identity is recognized by looking through template of all the users in the database for a match. Hence a system conducts a one -to- many comparisons to establish an individual’s identity. The identification mode classifies and identifies some unknown identity. It aims to answer questions such as “who is this person”. Distinguishing proof is a basic part in negative acknowledgment applications where the framework builds up whether the individual is who she denies being.  The motivation behind negative acknowledgment is to keep an individual from utilizing numerous identities. Identification may also be utilized as a part of positive acknowledgment for convenience (where the induvial is not required to prove an identity). While the traditional methods of personal recognition such as passwords and tokens work for positive recognition, only biometrics can be used for negative recognition (SALIL, P., SHARATH, P, and ANIL, K.  2003).

Physical biometric

Face:

One of the most studied research topics in computer vision is face recognition. After many years of research, conventional face recognition using visual light under controlled and homogeneous conditions is approaching a mature technology [1]. It has been being deployed at industrial scale for biometric border control [2] and it is achieving a better performance than human [3]

In 2005, Takeshi, Kaneko and Hori proposed Joint Haar-like Features for Face Detection. In this experiment, the detector yields higher classification performance and reduces the error by 37% in comparison with Viola and Jones’ detector. The detector is also 2.6 times as fast as Viola and Jones’ detector to achieve the same performance.

Voice recognition

Voice Recognition is a technology that allows users to use their voice as an input device. Voice recognition may be used to instruct and give commands to the computer such as opening application programs.  In the old voice recognition, each word needs to be separated by a distinct space in order to be recognized by the applications. However, in newer voice recognition, applications allow a user to give commands fluently into the computer and these applications can recognize speech at up to 160 words per minute. some applications are designed to recognize text and format it in order to allow continuous speech.

Voice recognition uses a neural net to learn and recognize human’s voice and remember the way human says every word. This customization allows the voice recognition to distinguish among humans’ voice although each person speaks with different accent and inflection.

Since the 1930s, a system model for speech analysis and synthesis was proposed by Homer Dudley of Bell Laboratories. They built a system for single-speaker digit recognition. This system operated by locating the formants in the power spectrum of each utterance.

< In 1952 three Bell Labs researchers built a system for single-speaker digit recognition. Their system worked by locating the formants in the power spectrum of each utterance >

In 1975, Itakura proposed fundamental pattern recognition technology to speech recognition based on LPC methods.

In 1976, Reddy provided a comprehensive review of the state of the art of voice recognition at that time. This comprehensive review helps a non-expert in the field to understand the early history of voice recognition.

In 1990, the first commercial speech recognition product was launched by Dragon. This system recognized continuous speech at about 100 words per minute.

Ear recognition

The ear is one type of biometrics which has its unique characters which are the richness and stability of the ear’s structure, immutability in its form with expressions, and the uniform distribution of color

< Hurley, David J., Mark S. Nixon, and John N. Carter. “Force field feature extraction for ear biometrics.” Computer Vision and Image Understanding98.3 (2005): 491-512>

In the early 1890s, Bertillon introduced the potential of the human ear for personal identification. In his study on biometrics he said:

“The ear, thanks to these multiple small valleys and hills which furrow across it, is the most significant factor from the point of view of identification. Immutable in its form since birth, resistant to the influences of environment and education, this organ remains, during the entire life, like the intangible legacy of heredity and of the intra-uterine life”.

In 1997, Mark and Wilhelm introduced the first attempt to build an ear recognition system. A mathematical graph model was used to represent and match the edges and curves in a 2D ear image.

In 1999, Moreno, Sanchez and Vélez discussed the idea of using outer ear images to build an ear recognition system. In this experiment, a dataset of 168 images was used. The extracted features are outer ear points, information obtained from ear shape and wrinkles, and macro using compression network. They obtained a recognition rate of 93% using neural network.

In the first step, the model ear helix is aligned. In the second step. In the second-step, the transformation is refined to determine if the match is good. In this experimental, they used a dataset of 30 3-D ear images collected from 30 users. They obtained an equal-error rate of 6.7%.

Odor Biometric

The smell of human is unique. This smell is referred to as Body odor. Body odor recognition is a contactless physical biometric that attempt identify the identity of people by analyzing and studying the olfactory properties of their body scent. Special sensors are implemented to capture the smell of human by obtaining the odor from non-intrusive parts of the body such as the back of the hand. Methods of capturing a person’s smell are being explored by Mastiff Electronic Systems

. < A. K. Jain, A. Ross, and S. Prabhakar, “An introduction to biometric recognition,” IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. Video Technology, Special Issue Image- and Video-Based Biomet., Volume 14, Issue 1, Jan. 2004, pp. 4–20.>

Solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) is a simple solvent-free headspace extraction technique which allows for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the headspace (gas phase above an item) to be sampled at room temperature.

SPME in conjunction with GC/MS has been demonstrated to be a viable route to extract and analyze the VOCs present in the headspace of collected human secretions.

The stink biometrics depends on the way that every human scent is special. The scent is caught by sensors that are fit to acquire the smell from nonintrusive parts of the body, for example, the back of the hand. Strategies for catching a man’s odor are being investigated by Mastiff Electronic Systems. Every human odor is comprised of chemicals known as volatiles. They are separated by the framework and changed over into a layout. The utilization of stink sensors raises the protection issue as the personal stink conveys a lot of touchy individual data. It is conceivable to analyze a few ailments or exercises in the most recent hours (like sex, for instance) by investigating the personal stink.

In 2003, Corrado used human body odor to identify 9 special gases in the mouth of patients diagnosed with lung cancer. He obtained an accurate rate of above 90%.

They stated that although human’s nose consists of about 400 smell receptors, there are only three kinds of receptors in the human visual system. They concluded that the odor system is not is not universally standardized.

In 2013, the authors investigated the possibility of using the body odor for biometric identification. In this experiment, they captured 728 samples from 13 subjects over 28 sessions. They obtained a recognition rate above 85% on average. They suggested that odor biometric should be used along with other biometric technologies to enhance its effectiveness.

Lip Biometrics 

Lip based recognition has been less developed than the recognition of other human physical attributes such as the fingerprint, voice patterns, blood vessel patterns, or the face. For this reason, achieved results on this field are still improved and new recognition techniques are searched

In cheiloscopy, the identification of a given person takes place on the basis of an analysis of characteristic features located in the vermilion border.

Lip visual features are divided into 3 categories which are shape based features, appearance based features  and  combination of both the previous features

In 2002, Gomez et al. proposed a lip biometric identification system based on the shape of lip. In this experiment, they collected 500 face images of 50 subjects over 10 sessions. They only studied and focused on the area around the lips and they used image transform to extract the lips’ shape.  Two types of features were extracted. The first set of features were obtained from the polar coordinates of the envelope. The second set of features were samples of the lip envelope height and width. They obtained a classification hit ratio of 96.9% and an Equal Error rate of 0.015 on average.

In 2012, Wang et al. investigated the different physiological and behavioral lip features based on their discriminative power in speaker identification and verification. In this experiment, a dataset consisting of 40 subjects was used. During data collection, they asked each subject to repeat the same numbers 3725 in English for ten times. They obtained high identification accuracy over 90% and low verification error rate under 5% using static lip texture feature and the dynamic shape deformation feature.

In 2010, choraś, michał introduced a standard geometrical parameters used in lips biometric system. In this experiment, they captured 114 lower face images from 38 people.  The extracted features vector are geometrical parameters, hu moments, central moments, moments of zernike, statistical color features in rgb, yuv and hsv color spaces. They obtained a recognition rate 82%.

In 2012, Liu, Yun-Fu, Lin, and Guo. investigated how the lip impacts the biometrics recognition systems. They proposed a lip recognition system that can work with partial face images. They obtained a correct accept rate of above 98%, and a false accept rate of below 0.066% using a dataset of 29 subjects.
