The Senior Design Team, Access Denied, is developing an integrated iris recognition and fingerprint scanner for use in protecting computer systems. Due to increasingly complex computer technology, password protection may soon become obsolete. To achieve heightened security our system uses biometric analysis to generate super secure computer protection. Biometrics is the science of using physiological measurements to uniquely identify people from their physical traits. Both fingerprint and iris patterns are very diverse, with most current biometric devices having error rates of less than 1 in 100,000 for fingerprints alone. Iris rates error are much lower.
The team is attempting to design a low cost biometric device for consumer use, and is aimed at customers with valuable financial or medical records that need extra security, such as banks or hospitals.
LabVIEW is being utilized as the platform for the program's coding, and the sponsor of the project is National Instruments. The image processing applications and wavelet analysis in LabVIEW will be used to implement the software design. The images can be compared using simple logic.
