Summary of Research in order to Evaluate Biometrics in Metadata Context A

In this article the impact of the cultural background of users of multimedial (different types media) and multimodal (different channels) applications such as biometrics is elaborated by summarizing different research studies. Keeping the task in mind that we want to find out if the cultural background of users plays a significant role and has a direct impact on technology, we established differently focussed tests and evaluations. Our evaluations are facing in two directions: On the one hand the impact of metadata on the performance of biometric authentication systems is analyzed while on the other hand deriving metadata from the available biometric data is focussed. Thus, multimedial as well as multimodal applications in a cross-cultural context are benchmarked considering three dimensions: 1. Examining the adaptability of speechand handwriting based biometric recognition systems towards multiple languages and scripts as well as cultural aspects of end user perception common in the territories of project partners. 2. Combining handwriting and voice technologies in order to improve recognition results. 3. Evaluating in the application domains biometric user authentication and text recognition. These dimensions have to be seen as criteria for the characterization of technologies in respect to their applicability in inter-cultural domains as our target has been in this the EU-India CultureTech Programme [1].
