Biometric System

"Biometric system" refers to the various individual components (like sensors, matching algorithm, and result display) that combine to make an operational biometric system.

A biometric system is an automated system capable of:

1. Capturing a biometric sample from an end user
2. Extracting and processing the biometric data from that sample
3. Storing the extracted information in a database
4. Comparing the biometric data with data contained in one or more reference references
5. Deciding how well they match and indicating whether or not an identification or verification of identity has been achieved.
