Biometrics is one of the most interesting works or a way to solve crimes
happening in day-to-day life. It’s a science based on the identification of
a person by physical and behavioural attributions. The relation between
forensics and biometrics is mainly concerned with the identification of

a person based on characteristics that include voice recognition, facial

recognition, fingerprint, iris, palm prints, ear prints, etc.

Biometric systems make use of characteristics like fingerprint patterns,
geometry of hands, iris and facial arrangement, voice prints, etc. Due

to these advancements, biometrics is said to be a strong alternative for

crime detection. It makes an endowment in crime detection by analysing

traces of persons stored in databases, those which rank in identifying

persons and result in comparison.

HOW DOES BIOMETRICS WORK?
Biometrics is a solely adopted automated system for identification pur-

poses based on the physical and behavioural characteristics of a person.

It extracts a salient feature set from the data and compares the acquired

feature set from the crime scenes to the stored data set in databases. A

biometric system includes analysis and verification steps.

ANALYSIS: This includes the identification of a person by comparing
AN AL Y SIS:
templates of individuals present in the databases; it conducts many ana-

lysing steps to prove the identity of a person.
