Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: PJB Publications USA Inc.
Published: September 2002
Product Code: R151-220
Description
Due to the events of 9/11, the biometrics industry is expected to see a sharp increase in sales beginning in 2002, and continuing throughout the first decade of the 21st Century...

Biometrics find their major applications in a variety of industries. Theta’s report analyses the benefits and disadvantages of varous biometrics technologies, discusses legislations that outlinekey parameters and boundaries of the use of biometrics, and reviews major players in the biometrics field.

Technologies Covered:

  • Facial Recognition
  • Fingerprint Scanning
  • Hand Geometry
  • Iris Recognition
  • Keystroke Pattern Recognition
  • Retina Scanning
  • Signature Verification
  • Voice Recognition

Assess the capabilities of various biometric systems by learning about three major parameters:

    1. False Match Ratio (FMR)
    2. False Non-Match Ratio (FNMR)
    3. Failure to Enroll

Detailed company profiles
Find out which companies are leading the race to develop new therapies and assess where the opportunities lie for your company.
