Central de confrontos para um sistema automático de identificação biométrica: uma abordagem de implementação escalável

Abstract

With the popularization of biometrics, personal identification is an increasingly common activity in several contexts: physical and logical access control, border control, criminal and forensic identification, payments. Thus, there is a growing demand for faster and accurate Automatic Biometric Identification Systems (ABIS) capable to handle a large volume of biometric data. This work presents an approach to implement a scalable cluster-based matching platform for a large-scale ABIS using an in-memory computing framework. We have conducted some experiments that involved a database with more than 50 million captured fingerprints, in a cluster up to 16 nodes. The results have shown the scalability of the proposed solution and the capability to handle a large biometric database.
