Biometric surveillance

Hello again folks! another day in sunshine?  Have you guys seen any movie about heist? then, I suppose that you must have seen the stealer trying to gain access to the target money through bypassing their fingerprint security. Those are one of the examples of biometric surveillance. So what is biometric surveillance?

"Biometric" itself means metrics related to human characteristics. Biometric surveillance is a technology that measures and analyzes human physical and/or behavioral characteristics for authentication, identification, or screening purposes. Biometric identifiers are often categorized as physiological versus behavioral characteristics.

Examples of biometric identification

 physiological :

 1) fingerprints

 

2) DNA

3) facial patterns, facial recognition

 

4) palm veins

 5) palm print,  hand geometry

6) iris recognition, retina

7) odour/scent.

 

behavioral characteristics:

1) gait (a person's manner of walking)

2) voice.

3) Typing rythm

Biometrics surveillance is a strong type of detection . Biometric surveillance may make air travel and any large event (like the Olympics) a little bit safer because terrorists, rioters, pickpockets and purse-snatchers will be aware that they could be identified and apprehended even before they act.  Nowadays almost everyone can be identified through physiological characteristics. For examples, our fingerprints may contain all of our personal and classified information such as bank password and many more.
