Bio metrics
Is the method for tracing unique features of humans based on
one or many intrinsic physical or behavioral traits, the term bio
metrics (Bio- biological entity i.e. both physical and behavioral
aspects of human being, Metrics- refers to the statistical analysis of the
data) represents the measurable aspects of human being and analysis of data so
as to differentiates the one from other based on the available bio
metric information.
IT (Information technology, in this aspect of biotechnology it
refers to technologies used to analyze human characteristics that are based on
different features like eye retinas, hand measurements etc, It is used to identify the individual attributes based on the
different information gathered
In general Bio
metrics characteristics
can be classified into two categories
1.) Physiological:
Based on the physiological aspects of
human being
Example: Facial characteristics:
As everyone’s facial features are not identical this aspect of human can be
used for recognition. Similarly fingerprints, hand measurements, iris and
cornea, DNA, are other characteristics of human being which makes him/her
to be unique from others

2.) Behavioural:
Classified on the behavioral aspects of human being
Example: Signatures, voice frequencies, keystrokes: all this forms the behavioral
aspects which make them to be different from others
Utilities:
As we know some of applications of Bio metrics find useful in
every walk of life like office attendances, access to office computers,
surveillance applications, military applications, authenticity applications,
etc, In future you may see the wide scope of this bio-metrics
technology find utilities in many security application areas like banks,
ATM, lockers and many more
Latest Invention in Bio-metrics Technology
Vein
identification technology, also called as vein matching/vascular
technology, i.e. physical aspect of human being used
for bio metric analysis

Principle
Identification of human being upon analysis of patterns of vessels of blood that can be identified from the surface part of skin is shown in the picture
Working
The working of this technology is as follows; firstly the infrared
light is projected on the surface of the skin in the blood vessels the haemoglobin
reflects the send IR light and the patterns are recorded by the CCD cameras
behind the transparent screen
Some US hospitals, NYU medical centres use this technology primarily
to reduce errors in their medical applications.
Many companies are in the process of developing and marketing the
devices to identify the vein matching patterns of human beings which works
based on this technology "Vein Matching Technology"

| Veins Scanner |
Hitachi:
Finger scanning and identification have been developed by kiosks,
turnstiles (Japanese institutions)
Mantra Softest:
Developed device in South Asia (scans vein patterns in palms for
maintain attendance record), In India some institutions have adopted this type of technology
for recording attended in the entrance exams GMAT

| Palm Scanner |
Fujitusu:
Developed a version of devices that do not require a physical
contact with the scanner
Candidates need to provide their proof of identification by
scanning their palm to enter into exam hall
Conclusion
Technology is subject to move from one level to another level with
much more modifications that enhances the scope of the previous inventions, lets
see how far we will move in this bio metrics, a technology to differentiate
unique attributes of human being, much more inventions are in its way based on
bio metrics like determining the age of person accurately from the information
collected from human cells and many more.
