Abstract

A biometric system for obtaining a biometric enrolment measurement is described. The system comprises a biometric capture unit for capturing biometric data from a user and a control means for producing a biometric match template there from. The control means also analyses the template to determine if the enrolment measurement may be susceptible to allowing false acceptances when in use. This is achieved by using the match template to verify against a number test templates, which have been created from earlier acquired biometric measurements, of the same class, obtained from other sources. If one or more false accepts are detected the enrolment measurement may be rejected.
