The IEEE Biometrics Council is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the science and technology of biometrics. Biometrics refers to the automated recognition of individuals based on their physiological or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial features, iris patterns, voice, and gait. The IEEE Biometrics Council aims to promote research, development, and education in biometrics, as well as to provide a forum for the exchange of information among professionals from academia, industry, and government agencies. The council is a part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology. With its focus on biometrics, the IEEE Biometrics Council plays a critical role in driving innovation and enabling the widespread adoption of biometric technologies in various applications, including law enforcement, border control, banking, healthcare, and access control.
