One of the main advantage of a biometric time and attendance system is it avoids "buddy-punching". Buddy punching was a major loophole which will be exploiting in the traditional time attendance systems. Fingerprint recognition is an established field today, but still identifying individual from a set of enrolled fingerprints is a time taking process. Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not reveal any information about the original fingerprint. This belief has now been shown to be false; several algorithms have been proposed that can reconstruct fingerprint images from minutiae templates. In this paper, a novel fingerprint reconstruction algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the phase image, which is then converted into the grayscale image. The proposed reconstruction algorithm ...

...Communication Paper Rachel Clayton June 24, 2012 CJA/363 Lilah Blackstone At some point in time, the development of technology undergoes change and improvement where our communication techniques begin to gradually develop. The criminal justice system is at the forefront of this development. One major example is New Orleans; they underwent the worst tragedy and have come out on top with better ways to run their criminal justice system. The city is plagued by violent crime, residents who will never be charged with a crime spend weeks in jail, and some serious offenders are released with no charges (The Vera Institute of Justice, 2007). The Vera Institute of Justice interviewed key stakeholders—including justice system leaders, representatives of nonprofit research and advocacy groups, and several members of the city council—and reviewed data on how the system has been operating after flooding devastated the city (The Vera Institute of Justice, 2007). New Orleans began rebuilding a justice system that is indeed both effective and just. New Orleans’ justice system would implement innovations that would allow the city to allocate more resources toward protecting public safety, improving public trust and confidence, and rebuilding the city (The Vera Institute of Justice, 2007). Around the nation other advances are being made that benefit all of the public. One of the technological techniques used is IAFIS. IAFIS stands for Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. IAFIS...

...Attendance Management System using Biometrics. O. Shoewu, Ph.D.1,2* and O.A. Idowu, B.Sc. 1 1 Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, Lagos State University, Epe Campus, Nigeria. 2 Department of Electrical and Electronics, University of Benin, Edo State, Nigeria. E-mail: engrshoewu@lasunigeria.org* ABSTRACT In this paper, the development of an attendance management system using biometrics is proposed. Managing student attendance during lecture periods has become a difficult challenge. The ability to compute the attendance percentage becomes a major task as manual computation produces errors, and also wastes a lot of time. For the stated reason, an efficient attendance management system using biometrics is designed. This system takes attendance electronically with the help of a finger print device and the records of the attendance are stored in a database. Attendance is marked after student identification. For student identification, a biometric (fingerprint) identification based system is used. This process however, eliminates the need for stationary materials and personnel for the keeping of records. Eighty candidates were used to test the system and success rate of 94% was recorded. The manual attendance system average execution time for eighty students was 17.83 seconds while it was 3.79 seconds for the automatic attendance management system using biometrics. The results showed improved performance over manual attendance management system. Attendance is marked...

The computer processing idea has been around for hundreds of years but the equipment has only been available for the past several decades evolving to become better with each step. The need for a formal system to record and identify first-time and repeated offenders in the 1800s led the known Bertillon to develop anthropometrics to identify individuals. This advancement was later linked with computer systems to create a true biometric system identifier. The several types of biometric identifiers, later discussed, have evolved from a mere idea to an implemented security system used in airports, government programs, and even small businesses. The technology is used globally from the US to the UK, India, Germany, and many more. Its long history has created responsiveness and allowed countries to embrace the welfares of such a system.

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Project Context A system is said to be effective if the end is realized with a maximum of success while using a minimum of means. To test, therefore, the effectiveness of the inmate system, the end or the objectives and the means or the strategies availed of to secure the desired end must be examined. According to A. Sarras, N.D., in today’s world Management Information System, a computerized processing system is needed in generating information for the people in the organization to meet the information needed in decision making to achieve the corporate objective of the organization. In any organization, small or big, a major portion of the time goes in data collection, processing, documenting it to the people. Hence, a major portion of the overheads goes into this kind of unproductive work in the organization. Every individual in an organization is continuously looking for some information which is needed to perform his/her task. Hence, the information is people-oriented and it varies with the nature of the people in the organization. The difficulty in handling this multiple requirement of the people is due to a couple of reasons. The information is a processed product to fulfill an imprecise need of the people. It takes time to search the data and may require a difficult processing path. It has a time value and unless processed on time and communicated, it has no value. The scope and the quantum of information is individual-dependent and it is...

...catch more criminals and solve crimes a lot quicker and more efficiently. These two specific technologies allow law enforcement to catch more criminals and solve cases a lot quicker. GPS tracking systems are some of the most advanced technology that has come into play for law enforcement in this day and age. In the past, officers would have the tedious job of following criminals on foot for days or even months at a time ("GPS Tracking for Law Enforcement", 2013). Officers now have GPS tracking technology, and that allows them to monitor potential suspects actions and movements by remote in almost real time from practically anywhere by a computer that his hooked up to the internet. Officers are able to also monitor them by using an IPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and even IPad. This incredible technology will permit law enforcement to dedicate more of their valuable time, resources, and money by resolving crimes that individuals commit a lot faster. This will give the officers the advantage that they need to crack all types of crimes, ranging from the minor crimes to the very difficult criminal cases. Usually when an officer is tracking a suspect he or she has to sit out all hours of the night on a stakeout or patrolling the areas that the person was last scene. A GPS tracking system is an absolute nightmare to the enemy that is...
