Abstract

In recent years, the theories of Sparse Representation (SR) and Compressed Sensing (CS) have emerged as powerful tools for efficiently processing data in non-traditional ways. An area of promise for these theories is biome #x0301;trie identification. In this paper, we review the role of sparse representation and CS for efficient biome #x0301;trie identification. Algorithms to perform identification from face and iris data are reviewed. By applying Random Projections it is possible to purposively hide the biome #x0301;trie data within a template. This procedure can be effectively employed for securing and protecting personal biome #x0301;trie data against theft. Some of the most compelling challenges and issues that confront research in biometrics using sparse representations and CS are also addressed.
