Comparing application environments
When dealing with obtaining biometric samples, there are various configuration profiles. The selected method will depend on how we need to collect the biometric, where this will take place, and what type of inputs are required.
Next, let's take a look at the various methods of obtaining a biometric sample.
Classifying different methods
When evaluating various ways to obtain a biometric sample, we have a number of different choices. Before deciding on a method, it's important to gather the requirements so that you select the best method for the organization.
Let's take a look at the different types of biometric systems as shown in the following table:
Figure 3.7 – A comparison of different types of biometric systems
In addition to the various environments, biometric system design can include the ability to accepts different types of input, as we'll see next.
