Abstract

Missing, swapping, mixing, and illegal adoption of newborns is a worldwide challenge and research done to resolve this issue is minimal and least reported in the literature. Most of the biometric systems developed are for adults and very few of them address the issue of newborn identification. The headprint of a newborn is an important source of data for passive recognition, as they are non cooperative users of biometrics. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the concept of using headprint recognition for verification of newborns. The main contributions of the research are: (1) The preparation of headprint biometric database of newborn and (2) Performance and analysis of the appearance and texture based algorithm for verification of 200 newborn.
