Although temporal persistence, or permanence, is a well understood requirement for optimal biometric features, there is no general agreement on how to assess temporal persistence. We suggest that the best way to assess temporal persistence…
It is generally accepted that relatively more permanent (i.e., more temporally persistent) traits are more valuable for biometric performance than less permanent traits. Although this finding is intuitive, there is no current work…
