US 2014/0372465 A1 · METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING AND REPAIRING BIOMETRIC CROSSLINKS

Abstract

Systems and methods for repairing cross-linked biometric records receive a set of biometric records. Each biometric record contains at least one biometric sample in a non-textual modality. One or more of the biometric records in the set of biometric records is potentially a cross-linked biometric record having at least two biometric samples that are associated with different individuals. Crosslink resolution is performed on the set of biometric records by searching for a match between a biometric sample in a given non-textual modality of a given biometric record with each biometric sample of the same given non-textual modality in each of the other biometric records in the set of biometric records. During the crosslink resolution, biometric sample may be removed from one biometric record and merged with another biometric record.

Dependent claims

A method of repairing cross-linked biometric records, comprising:

receiving a set of biometric records, each biometric record containing at least one biometric sample in a non-textual modality, one or more of the biometric records in the set of biometric records potentially being a cross-linked biometric record having at least two biometric samples that are associated with different individuals;
and
performing cross-link resolution on the set of biometric records by searching for a match between a biometric sample in a given non-textual modality of a given biometric record with each biometric sample of the same given non-textual modality in each of the other biometric records in the set of biometric records.

Computer program product for repairing cross-linked biometric records, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
computer readable program code that, if executed, receives a set of biometric records, each biometric record containing at least one biometric sample in a non-textual modality, one or more of the biometric records in the set of biometric records potentially being a cross-linked biometric record having at least two biometric samples that are associated with different individuals;
and
computer readable program code that, if executed, performs cross-link resolution on the set of biometric records to repair each cross-linked biometric record in the set by searching for a match between a biometric sample in a given non-textual modality of a given biometric record with each biometric sample of the same given non-textual modality in each of the other biometric records in the set of biometric records.

1 more element

A computer system for repairing cross-linked biometric records, the computer system comprising:

memory storing program code that, if executed, performs cross-link resolution on biometric records;
and
a processor programmed to receive a set of biometric records, each biometric record containing at least one biometric sample in a non-textual modality, one or more of the biometric records in the set of biometric records potentially being a cross-linked biometric record having at least two biometric samples that are associated with multiple different individuals, the processor executing the program code stored in memory to perform cross-link resolution on the set of biometric records to repair each cross-linked biometric record in the set, wherein the cross-link resolution includes searching for a match between a biometric sample in a given non-textual modality of a given biometric record in the set of biometric records with each biometric sample of the same given non-textual modality in each of the other biometric records in the set.
