Age Factors in Biometric Processing — Recommend this title to your library

Thank you

Your recommendation has been sent to your librarian.

The chapters of this book which follow will discuss and analyse a wide variety of issues which describe the effects of human ageing on the way in which biometric systems are designed and deployed. This is a particularly important issue since, of course, biometrics is an area which is intrinsically concerned with the measurement of human characteristics which are subject to change as a consequence of ageing. It is appropriate, therefore, to begin by briefly examining why the ageing issue is potentially a matter of concern from a general societal perspective, before introducing the nature of the problem when biometric systems are considered. This initial chapter will identify the principal features of this general landscape, setting the scene for the more detailed studies to be reported subsequently.
