Detailed explanation-1: -Biometric identification consists of determining the identity of a person. The aim is to capture an item of biometric data from this person. It can be a photo of their face, a record of their voice, or an image of their fingerprint.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biometrics is the measurement and statistical analysis of people’s unique physical and behavioral characteristics. The technology is mainly used for identification and access control or for identifying individuals who are under surveillance.

Fingerprint scanners take a digital rendering of the fingerprint and convert it to a digital algorithm for storage.
