Millions of children in developing countries face preventable deaths due to inadequate vaccination and malnutrition, in part due to insufficient monitoring and the absence of official identification. A reliable fingerprint recognition system can be a practical solution to address this issue. However, the scarcity of longitudinal fingerprint datasets for young children leads to unresolved questions regarding the earliest age for fingerprint biometric use, the frequency of enrollment required for reliable recognition, and the methods to accommodate age-related changes. A few recent studies introduced high-resolution fingerprint scanners and showed promising recognition performance for young children. However, these studies were conducted on a small dataset over a shorter period with limited diversity; further evaluation of their finding is essential. This study assessed the effectiveness of a high-resolution contactless scanner in a controlled, diverse longitudinal dataset of children (0-15 years). Our results indicate that infants can be enrolled at five days old and reliably recognized after two months with a TAR= 100% @ FAR = 0.1%, and children aged 4-15 years can be recognized after one year with a TAR= 98.72% @ FAR = 0.1%.

The rapid and precise quantification and identification of proteins as key diagnostic biomarkers hold significant promise in allergy testing, disease diagnosis, clinical treatment, and proteomics. This is crucial because alterations in disease-associated genetic information during pathogenesis often result in changes in protein types and levels. Therefore, the design of portable, fast, user-friendly, and affordable sensing platforms rather than a single-sensor-per-analyte strategy for multiplex protein detection is quite consequential.

This article introduces a hybrid multi-biometric system incorporating fingerprint, face, and iris recognition to enhance individual authentication. The system addresses limitations of uni-modal approaches by combining multiple biometric modalities, exhibiting superior performance and heightened security in practical scenarios, making it more dependable and resilient for real-world applications. The integration of support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) classifiers, along with optimization techniques like bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) and genetic algorithms (GA), improves efficiency and robustness.

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2024
Footstep recognition is an emerging biometric that identifies or verifies users based on footstep pressure patterns obtained while walking. However, the impact of covariates on footstep recordings is not well understood, unlike more established biometric traits such as fingerprint and facial recognition. Therefore, this study used unsupervised hierarchical clustering (HCA) to examine the internal and external covariate influence on spatial and temporal footstep features of twenty individuals.
