Biometrics refers to technologies that measure a person’s physical or behavioral
human characteristics to digitally identify a person to grant access to systems,
devices or data. Biometric sensor measurements are related to intrinsic human characteristics
and fall roughly into two categories: physical identifiers and behavioral identifiers.
Physical identifiers are, for the most part, immutable and device independent such as face, fingerprint, palm, iris, voice, signature, EEG and DNA. Examples of behavioral identifiers are human typing patterns, human gait, mouse movement, websites navigation patterns and the way we use our mobile devices.
Statler College researchers have specialized in several different biometric research topics, such as identification using different physical and behavioral traits, multimodal identification, multispectral/hyperspectral face recognition, heterogenous identification, biosecurity, video and data analytics, mobile biometrics, soft biometrics and DNA.
