Biometrics Algorithm
A biometrics algorithm is sequence of instructions that tell a biometric system how to solve a particular problem. Typically, biometric systems use these sequences of rules to interpret data that has been abstracted from the original source. For example, rather than work on fingerprint images directly, biometric systems take from a particular print a set of features that best defines differences between individuals.
An algorithm will have a finite number of steps and is typically used by the biometric engine to compute whether a biometric sample and template are a match.
