Hair Pattern Biometric Detection: A Review
Abstract
Identification of criminals is an important task in forensic science today. There are many biometric systems available on various biometric traits such as fingerprint, iris, palm, voice, etc. In this paper we review the biometric system that is achieved through a very peculiar trait i.e. hair pattern. Medical research department has confirmed that hair can be used as a proper biometric trait for criminal identification. Therefore it is an important area of research in forensic department. Index Terms — Biometric trait, hair pattern, criminal identification, forensic.References (7)
