Information Technology8 CardsCreated 3 months ago

This section discusses surveillance technologies like CCTV with Pan-Tilt-Zoom capabilities and biometric system performance metrics including False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR), and Crossover Error Rate (CER). It also differentiates biometric methods such as retinal and iris scanning based on the unique features they analyze.
