Abstract

Performance of a biometric system is characterized by its speed, accuracy, and cost This paper presents fundamentals of 1 : 1 biometric match engine accuracy performance metrics and its evaluation Here, we explain the basic terminology, performance metrics and related system issues We also discuss practical methods used for evaluating 1 : 1 biometric match engine accuracy performance and provide a summary of the state-of-art of biometric identifier accuracies.
