Biometric recognition: why not massively adopted yet?
This work identifies barriers to adoption for civilian biometric systems, but it is incremental as it reviews existing issues without proposing new solutions.
The paper investigates why biometric systems have not achieved massive adoption in civilian applications despite technological advancements, addressing causes and misconceptions.
Although there has been a dramatically reduction on the prices of capturing devices and an increase on computing power in the last decade, it seems that biometric systems are still far from massive adoption for civilian applications. This paper deals with the causes of this phenomenon, as well as some misconceptions regarding biometric identification.
