Face to Face with Technology – How AI Biometrics Works
Biometrics is an authentication technique used in computer science and is now being applied to AI technology. AI has been used to combat cyber-attacks and is continuing to keep the bad guys out by protecting people’s privacy.
Facial recognition, iris recognition, and finger vein identification are all forms of biometrics that are being implemented to protect people. This form of technology is typically found in cell phones, tablets, and computers. In developing uses for the technology, the aim is to keep the bad guys out by utilizing biometrics solutions.
Exploring Biometrics
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is becoming part of our everyday life and its applications can be seen in areas such as bank fraud detection, retail purchase predictions and online customer support interactions. AI has also proved useful in detecting and stopping malware threats and cyber-attacks.
Iris recognition is one of the most popular types of biometric technology because of its narrow margin of error and fast speed. It is an automated method of biometric identification and verification that uses mathematical pattern-recognition techniques on images of a person’s eyes. The iris offers complex, unique and stable patterns and can be observed from some distance. This technology utilizes pattern recognition methods based on distortion-free and high-resolution images of the iris, and then stores the data for future faultless identification and verification.
The Finger-Vein biometric system is difficult to fool because of the individuality of the human fingerprint. This approach incorporates a Deep Learning algorithm using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to identify unique patterns. Machines are trained in a way that captures infrared light which passes through human skin to verify unique individual vein patterns. This approach provides a highly secure and reliable identification method.
Physical vs. Behavioral Biometrics
Physical biometrics is any physiological feature on the human body that can be used as recognition or identification. These biometrics technologies are based on direct measurements of human body parts and incorporate the ability to do a facial scan, hand scan, finger scan, iris scan, or retina scan. These are static ways to measure points obtained from a fixed image.
