    Facial Recognition

    Facial memory and recognition are common daily activities and important forensic evidence in a trial or an investigation. Some people have difficulty in social interaction because of having face blindness and sometimes a suspect can be determined by the witness’ facial recognition. However, the reliability of facial recognition is being questioned for years because memory is a recreation of given information. It raises an interesting question to ask what factors improve or affect the accuracy of facial recognition and memory.…

    Airport Security: How the Use of Full-Body Scanners and Other Security Measures at Airports Are Problematic

    Security is the freedom from danger and risk, which provides one with complete satisfaction and safety. Full-body scanners have been in use for various health reasons, but have recently started to be utilized at airports for security measures in 2007. Full-body scanners used for safety purposes are a recently invented technology device that claims to ensure entire safety to travelers at airports by generating a computerized stripped image of passengers boarding flights. Additional security procedures along with full-body scanners are also taken place. This assures that no passengers are carrying any harmful material to prevent the act of terrorism. Although full-body scanners allow airport security to avoid physical frisking, which may arise as a problem to many travelers, personally and religiously, there are many disadvantages as well. According to surveys, even though it is for the sake of security, passengers feel uncomfortable about the fact that they are technologically being viewed bare naked. Also, the personal who specifically view your full body scan can amplify security which creates a reasonable issue of racism and prejudice. Additionally, it has been proven that this “new and improved” full-body scanner and other security measures in action have not been functioning to satisfy complete safety and security to travelers. Private and religious invasion, discrimination, and inefficiency are three major concerns that regard the use of full-body scanners and other security measures, which are becoming increasingly problematic at airports internationally. It is coherent that these apprehensions must be taken into serious consideration regarding the decision whether or not the use of full-body scanners and other security enforcements should be continued.…

    Week 4 Technology and Communication Paper Individual

    Technology affects our life daily, and it also affects the criminal justice system, especially in communication. The criminal justice system has different databases do to technology, and these databases operate faster than it would take humans could do. So, the biometrics technologies can measure and analyze the human body characteristics such as fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns, facial patterns and hand measurements. (Rouse, 2015) The Biometrics is another word for the specialized database it has been around for hundreds of years and provided through the new technology over the years. The Biometric history back dates to 1858 when the first systematic capture of hand images for identification purpose was record. In 1992, the United States established the Biometric Consortium and in 2003 the formal U.S. Government coordination of Biometric activities began. Then in 2005 the Iris on the Move was announced at the Biometric Consortium Conference. Throughout the years many different changes and developments occurred.…

    TETRA TRAITS FOR EFFICIENT HUMAN RECOGNITION

    This paper proposes the multimodal biometrics system for identity verification using four traits i.e., face, fingerprint, iris and signature. The proposed system is designed for applications where the training database contains a face, iris, is developed through fusion of face, fingerprint, iris and signature recognition. finally combined into a total score, which is passed to the decision module. Multimodal system then compared to the enrollment templates which are stored during database preparation for each biometric trait. Based on the proximity of feature vector and template, each subsystem computes its own matching score. These individual scores are…
