Unique Cardiovascular Measurements for Human Identification

An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable instructions tangibly embodied thereon which, when implemented, cause a computer to carry out a plurality of method steps comprising:

• acquiring at least one depiction of cardiac anatomy from an individual;
• extracting at least one quantified representation of cardiac anatomy from the at least one depiction;
• defining at least one comparison technique between the at least one quantified representation of cardiac anatomy and at least one additional quantified representation of cardiac anatomy;
• and
• identifying the individual based on the at least one defined comparison technique.

A system for generating a cardiovascular measurement for individual identification, comprising:

• at least one distinct software module, each distinct software module being embodied on a tangible computer-readable medium;
• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative for:
• acquiring at least one depiction of cardiac anatomy from an individual;
• extracting at least one quantified representation of cardiac anatomy from the at least one depiction;
• defining at least one comparison technique between the at least one quantified representation of cardiac anatomy and at least one additional quantified representation of cardiac anatomy;
• and
• identifying the individual based on the at least one defined comparison technique.
