Choosing the Best Biometric Modality The The success success of of aa biometric biometric system system often often depends depends on on choosing choosing the the right right biometric biometric modality, modality, but but itit isn’t isn’t easy. easy. Careful Careful research research that that includes includes rigorous rigorous comparisons comparisons of of modality modality strengths strengths and and weaknesses weaknesses is is an an important important element element to to help help select select the the right right hardware. hardware. m2sys.co

1. Accuracy Accuracy is one of the most important aspects to assess when choosing a biometric modality. It is based on several criteria including error rate, False Acceptance Rate (FAR), identification rate, False Rejection Rate (FRR) and additional biometric system standards. m2sys.co

2. Anti-Spoofing Capabilities As As biometric biometric recognition recognition systems systems become become more more widespread, widespread, strong strong anti-spoofing anti-spoofing protection protection is is aa must must have have capability capability for for the the right right biometric biometric modality. modality.

3. Acceptability User User acceptance acceptance is is the the linchpin linchpin of of biometric biometric identification identification management management deployment deployment success. success. Understanding Understanding which which modalities modalities are are acceptable acceptable versus versus those those that that may may cause cause user user acceptance acceptance issues issues is is important. important. m2sys.co

4. Cost Effectiveness Depending Depending on on the the underlying underlying technology technology and and hardware hardware characteristics, characteristics, certain certain modalities modalities may may be be more more cost cost effective effective than than others. others. It’s It’s important important to to recognize recognize that that an an initial initial investment investment in in biometrics biometrics can can and and is is quite quite often often recouped recouped in in aa short short amount amount of of time time to to achieve achieve fast fast return return on on investment investment (ROI). (ROI). m2sys.co

5. Hygiene Contact Contact dependent dependent biometric biometric hardware hardware is is an an important important factor factor to to consider consider before before making making an an investment. investment. Many Many new new deployments deployments in in industries industries that that pay pay close close attention attention to to infection infection control control prefer prefer to to use use contactless contactless biometric biometric modalities modalities for for hygienic hygienic reasons. reasons. m2sys.co
