Biometric Architecture: Biometric Systems Getting Better Than Ever

Biometric architecture uses principles from nature to design effective biometric systems. It considers factors like accuracy, throughput, cost, security, privacy, and usability. Advances in biometric systems have significantly improved identification and verification processes, making them faster and helping to curb identity theft. Biometric architecture looks to nature for inspiration, using natural designs and processes to solve problems. For example, the Eden Project domes were modeled after soap bubbles and pollen grains to create an effective spherical shape using lightweight, strong materials.

Biometric architecture

Biometric systems getting better than ever


Biometric system design is the process of defining the architecture, selecting the appropriate
hardware and software components and designing an effective administration policy such that
the biometric system satisfies the specified requirements. The requirements for a biometric
system are typically specified in terms of six major design parameters, namely, accuracy,
throughput, cost, security, privacy and usability.

Biometric systems have made a significant impact on personal identification and authentication
practices worldwide. This technology has not only changed the way people are identified, but
also dramatically reduced time taken by identification and verification processes. Running an
identification query on a biometric database with millions of records has also become much
faster with the development of advance computing machines. Biometric identification has curbed
identity theft and other identity related crimes to a certain extent, as with biometric identity it
becomes nearly impossible to imitate one’s physiological and behavioral characteristics.
A biometric system is a technology powered setup that extracts data out of biological or
behavioral patterns of a person (or other biological organism) to identify that person.

Biometric systems rely on specific biological patterns in order to work. Biometric architecture
uses nature as a model, measure and mentor to solve problems in architecture. It is not the same
as biomorphic architecture, which uses natural existing elements as sources of inspiration for
aesthetic components of form. Instead, biometric architecture looks to nature as a model to
imitate or take inspiration from natural designs and processes and applies it to the man-made. It
uses nature as a measure meaning biomimicry uses an ecological standard to judge the efficiency
of human innovations.

For example,The Eden Project (2001) in Cornwall, England is a series of artificial biomes with


domes modeled after soap bubbles and pollen grains. Grimshaw Architects looked to nature to
build an effective spherical shape. The resulting geodesic hexagonal bubbles inflated with air
were constructed of Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), a material that is both light and
strong. The final superstructure weighs less than the air it contains.
Vocabulary 

 Biomimicry- is the emulation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the
purpose of solving complex human problems.
 Identification -  the act of finding out who someone is or what something is.
 Environment – is the circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded.
 Pattern- a repeated form or design especially that is used to decorate something.
 Inspiration - the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially
to do something creative
 Grains- wheat or any other cultivated cereal used as food.
 Extant- still in existence; surviving.

Specialized verbs

 It runs an identification query- выполняет идентификационный запрос


 It has curbed identity – у него сдержанная идентичность
 To use nature as a model – использовать природу как модель(пример)
 To build an effective spherical shape – построить эффективную сферическую форму
 To expedit identification and verification processes - ускорить процессы
идентификации и проверки

Summary
This portfolio is about biometric architecture that defines fundamental organization of a
biometric system, embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and to the
environment, and the principles governing its design and evolution. System architecture is the
conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and more views of a system. Keeping
things right is crucial in biometric systems architecture as a flaw in any component or sub-
system can adversely affect the overall system performance. An efficiently designed biometric
system serves what it is designed for. If we get down to the business, biometric systems save
time, a lot of it. Expedited identification and verification processes help people clear queue faster
and save time. Biometric systems are making world a better place, aren’t they?
