The use of the features found in the iris to identify an individual. The use of patterns of veins in the back of the eye to accomplish recognition.
The analysis of facial features or patterns for the authentication or recognition of an individual’s identity.
The use of the ridges and valleys (minutiae) found on the surface tips of a human finger to identify an individual.
