ScanMeIn: Minutiae reduction
http://scanmein.blogspot.com/2011/05/minutiae-reduction.html
May 1, 2011. The first modern version of a fingerprint database was created in 1892 in Argentina, and by use of fingerprints they were able to have a murderer confess to her murders. Fingerprints were then used extensively by being imprinted on paper which is still used today in some places. Research has been done into how to create an algorithm (sequence of steps) to eliminate false minutiae or to add back in minutiae that were lost in the scan. This research was very effective reducing the amount o...

ScanMeIn: April 2011
http://scanmein.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Apr 30, 2011. Iris vs. Retina. I have already introduced you to retinal scanning in my previous post The King of Biometrics. However retinal scanning has a younger more lighthearted brother: the iris scan. To most people scanning of the eye is all the same and people constantly mix up the terms iris and retina scans (even the U.S. Army did it see Biometric Army. My hope is that after reading this post you will never make the same mistake. So basically if the scan is taken at a very short distance and if ...

ScanMeIn: February 2011
http://scanmein.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Feb 28, 2011. Your Private Info For Sale. This post relates back to an older post of mine Fingerprint For Beer. If the pubs are taking your personal information and biometrics and storing it in a database without regulations what is to stop them from doing what is happening in Moscow with databases being sold like music CD's? What do you think about this? Does it change any of your opinions about allowing your biometrics to be scanned at a bar? Links to this post. Feb 23, 2011. Your Face Sells You Out.

ScanMeIn: Biometric Army
http://scanmein.blogspot.com/2011/04/biometric-army.html
Apr 19, 2011. You’ve seen it done in movies a thousand times, the bad/good guy steals an identity badge and gains access to an installation and wreaks havoc/saves the day. How can such a thing be stopped? And this is exactly what the Army thought as well. Currently in use in operations Enduring. HIIDE in Action in Iraq. One example of how this program has helped was given by the Army and boy is it impressive. Let’s look back one day. Remember that employee that was detained? That is a major situation avo...

Addressing the science in books, movies, and on T.V. As I mentioned in the very beginning of this blog, this blog is done as a requirement for my communicating science class. And, as I'm not an avid participator, more of a lurker, of the online community, any of them, I am not continuing the blog. I'm graduating and as such I want to enjoy doing nothing. I can't remember what that feels like and look forward to growing bored of it. Good luck to my readers! Blog Evaluation the Third. What an Odd Couple.
