Diponegoro University inaugurated professors at the afternoon session, Tuesday (12/9) at the Prof. Building. Soedarto, S.H., Undip Tembalang. The Professor who was inaugurated was Prof. Dr. Ir. R. Rizal Isnanto, S.T., M.M., M.T., IPU, ASEAN Eng.
Prof. Rizal, in his scientific work presentation entitled “Image Processing and Pattern Recognition in Biometric Systems for Identity Management”, discussed the benefits of biometric technology which is useful for increasing the security of precise individual identification.
“The introduction of biometrics is still being carried out to find the best system, looking at the aspects of accuracy, availability, speed, ease of access, and so on. By utilizing a biometric system, it is possible to apply one individual to one identifier or single identity so that a person no longer needs to carry various identities for himself. “Further studies are needed to combine Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Deep Learning methods with large databases for image processing and biometric image pattern recognition,” he said.
According to Prof. Rizal of the five biometric iris characteristics (finger scales, palm, iris, retina, and face), the highest recognition occurred in the recognition of the palm and iris. The development of a new science, Identity Management, in the future biometrics will become the main support for this field.
