Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of human interaction with biometric devices and its relationship to biometric performance. The authors propose a model outlining the Human-Biometric Sensor Interaction and discuss its necessity through case studies in fingerprint recognition, hand geometry, and dynamic signature verification to further understand the human-sensor interaction issues and underlying problems that they present to the biometric system. Human factors, human-computer interaction and digital human modeling are considered in the context of current and future biometric research and development.
