Biometric performance metrics
Biometric performance metrics are standard measures used to evaluate how well biometric systems (like fingerprint or facial recognition) identify or verify individuals. Key metrics include "True Positive Rate" (correctly recognized individuals), "False Positive Rate" (incorrectly identified individuals), "True Negative Rate" (correctly rejected non-matching individuals), and "False Negative Rate" (missed identifications). Together, these metrics help assess the accuracy and reliability of the biometric system, ensuring it works effectively in real-world scenarios while balancing security and convenience. Understanding these metrics helps in choosing the right biometric technology for specific needs.
