CSCI 222 - Biometrics Fundamentals

3 Credits
This course will present an overview of the topics fundamental to Biometrics. Those topics will include an introduction to the Biometric modalities currently being used today (such as Face, Finger, and Iris). Performance evaluation of biometric systems will be explored as well as understanding the components that make up a biometric system. An overview of the sciences that allow biometrics to be used today will also be briefly covered (Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning, and Statistical Inference).

Fees: Additional course fees apply.
Prerequisite(s): IAAS 221 or IAAS 224
