Biometric Data Collection and Verification System

Biometric technologies have several shortfalls, including slow data acquisition and retrieval speeds, failures in biometric data extraction, and inaccuracies in biometric matching. These limitations decrease identification screening throughput as well as user satisfaction and trust.

Researchers from the DHS Science and Technology Directorate’s Biometric and Identity Technology Center have introduced an efficient biometric data validation system and method to address these issues. The Biometric Data Collection and Verification System (BDCVS) receives and measures data from a biometric collection station and quantifies the overall performance in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, user satisfaction, and equitability. The system characterization ensures the system is performing as required and identifies deficiencies that may require remediation. This method allows the system to compare the characterization number with the system performance criteria ensuring the performance is within the required criteria.
