Introduction of Fingerprint Recognition System

O A well known and publicized biometrics, it

uses biological characteristics to verify

individuals apart from each other

The system identifies our

fingerprint patterns

using a directional map,

matching the ridge lines

on our fingers with the

map

Fundamental principles

O Each individual have different fingerprint

patterns, even identical twins have slightly

different fingerprints

O An individual’s fingerprint will remain

unchanged throughout their lifetime

Fingerprint matching

O Typical False Rejection Rates range

between

0.03%-1.4%

O Typical False Acceptance Rates are

around

0.01%-0.001%

Usually due to dry skin condition

Fingerprint scanner

O Two ways of scanning

O 1. optical scanner- shines

a light over your

fingerprint and captures a

digital photograph

O 2. Capacitive scanner-

when your finger is set on

the surface, it measures

the distances between the

ridges in your fingerprints

Application

O E-channel

O Safety boxes

Application

O Access to personal devices

O Door locks

Online Survey

O Purpose of Survey: To see whether

students are familiar with the system and

understands what it can do

Survey Questions

O Q1: Are you familiar with the fingerprint

recognition system?

O Q2: Where have you used this technology

before?

O Q3: What do you think this technology can

develop into in the future?

O Q4: What do you think is the most

significant benefit the Fingerprint

Recognition System brings to our daily

life?

• Q5: How long have you been using

this application?

• Q6: How frequent do you use the

fingerprint recognition system?

• Q7: On a scale of 1 to 5, how much

do you trust the system

• Q8: Have you experienced some sort

of error or failure with the fingerprint

recognition system?

Survey Questions

Survey Result -1

Data Analysis-1

O The above bar chart shows that themajority of people think reducing the timeneeded to activate accounts is the mostsignificant benefit they can get from usingthe Fingerprint Recognition System.

O By reviewing the data, we can observethat most people would like to choosetechnologies that will benefit their dailylives, like limiting the time needed to logonto their accounts on computers.

Survey result -2

Data Analysi-2

O 35% of people who completed the survey

use this application most of the time while

there are 5% of them who have never

used it.

O Combining the data from question 1 and

6, people are quite familiar with this

system (70%) and they use it on a daily

basis. It is clear that this application plays

an important role in people’s lives.

Survey result -3

Data Analysis-3

O Based on the pie chart, 65% of people

have experienced failure with the

fingerprint recognition system before.

O We can conclude that this application still

need to be improved in its accuracy, as

this is one of the most crucial functions of

it. This technology needs to be

experimented over and over again in

order to eliminate the mistakes.

Creating scanners that can instantlyidentify someone with their fingerprint

As entrance security in most buildings

Faster log-ins to various accounts ordevices

Others

Future Development

Data Analysis-4

O Generally, people see the potential of this

technology developing further in the future

and be used more frequently. They mostly

want to experience faster log-in times

Going through immigration

Phone

Doors

computer

Safety boxes

Where participants of the survey have used the fingerprint recognition system

before

Data analysis- 5

O People are most familiar with this system

being used in immigration (75%). This is

because using E-channel to go through

immigration is significantly faster than

using other ways.

Future Development/Data Analysis

O From the overall trend, most people are

aware of the existence of this technology

and have used it before. It has the

potential of being incorporated and be

used more often in our daily lives.

Conclusion

O In conclusion, the majority of people are

familiar with this system mainly because

they have used it before

O They would like to see this technology be

introduced and adapted further to various

place : entrances, instant identification

and faster log-ins

Conclusion

O Although sometimes there might be failure

of recognizing an individual’s fingerprint

(maybe due to skin condition or other

factors), people still trust the system’s

accuracy of identification
