  2. Fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint

    Pattern based algorithms compare the basic fingerprint patterns (arch, whorl, and loop) between a previously stored template and a candidate fingerprint. This requires that the images can be aligned in the same orientation. To do this, the algorithm finds a central point in the fingerprint image and centers on that.

  3. Henry Classification System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Classification_System

    The Henry Classification System is a long-standing method by which fingerprints are sorted by physiological characteristics for one-to-many searching. Developed by Hem Chandra Bose, [1] Qazi Azizul Haque [2] and Sir Edward Henry in the late 19th century for criminal investigations in British India, [3] it was the basis of modern-day AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System ...

  4. Biometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics

    The selection of a particular biometric for use in a specific application involves a weighting of several factors. Jain et al. (1999) [6] identified seven such factors to be used when assessing the suitability of any trait for use in biometric authentication. Biometric authentication is based upon biometric recognition which is an advanced ...

    Vygotsky was strongly focused on the role of culture in determining the child's pattern of development. [14] He argued that "Every function in the child's cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological).

  6. DNA profiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling

    DNA profiling (also called DNA fingerprinting and genetic fingerprinting) is the process of determining an individual's deoxyribonucleic acid characteristics.DNA analysis intended to identify a species, rather than an individual, is called DNA barcoding.

  7. Piaget's theory of cognitive development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaget's_theory_of...

    Piaget agreed with most other developmental psychologists in that there are three very important factors that are attributed to development: maturation, experience, and the social environment. But where his theory differs involves his addition of a fourth factor, equilibration, which "refers to the organism's attempt to keep its cognitive ...

    Determined to exonerate the man, he compared the fingerprints left behind at the crime scene to those of the suspect and found them to be different. On the strength of this evidence the police agreed to release the suspect. In an attempt to promote the idea of fingerprint identification he sought the help of the noted naturalist Charles Darwin.

  9. Dermatoglyphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatoglyphics

    Dermatoglyphics, when correlated with genetic abnormalities, aids in the diagnosis of congenital malformations at birth or soon after.. Klinefelter syndrome: excess of arches on digit 1, more frequent ulnar loops on digit 2, overall fewer whorls, lower ridge counts for loops and whorls as compared with controls, and significant reduction of the total finger ridge count.
