Question COMP6211_1 It has been suggested that signals from the cardiovascular system can be used in biometric authentication. The signals of particular interest here derive from photoplethysmography (PPG), which refers to the use of illumination-based sensors that are sensitive to volumetric changes as blood travels through the body. Photoplethysmography sensors have been developed for the fingertip and the ear lobe, and can provide a convenient, noninvasive means of measuring heart rate and heart-rate variability. Figure (Q1) shows Photoplethysmography signals from three different subjects, obtained using a fingertip pulse oximeter. Different individuals can exhibit significant differences in PPG signal morphology, and these differences can be exploited for biometric authentication. Figure (Q1) Photoplethysmography signals [Sarkar, Abbott and Lynn, Proc. IEEE BTAS 2016] Describe basic considerations of the nature of these signals and how they could be used as a basis for a biometric system. Describe how the signals could be transformed into feature vectors suitable for recognition, and the process that would use these feature vectors for authentication purposes. [50 marks] Question COMP6211_2 (a) Biometric authentication is largely based on interpreting measures of distance. Describe how these distance measures can be deployed to recognise or to authenticate people. [15 marks] (b) For sets of vector points = (1 ,2 ,3 , … ,) which have mean values = (1, 2, 3,… , ) and covariance matrix Σ, the Mahalanobis distance measure is defined as: = √( − )Σ−1( − ) where the covariance matrix is formed of elements which express the variance as Σ = [( − )( − )] where denotes the expected value. For a system where there are three classes whose two dimensional feature vectors are arranged with mean values (1,1), (10,10) and (5,5) with variances (0.1,0.1), (1,1) and (2,2), respectively, describe the possible result of recognition using the Mahalanobis distance measure compared with than achieved using the Euclidean distance. [23 marks] (c) Describe approaches that can be used to augment performance when recognition within a biometric modality does not appear able to achieve recognition.

Question COMP6239_1 Explain the various scenarios, based on different business needs that you may face, and the kinds of development approaches you may choose for your team to undertake. You are required to devise at least four different scenarios. For each suggested development approach, justify their suitability and consequences in terms of potential advantages and disadvantages. Hint: You can refer to lectures explaining the four different approaches to mobile app development and the different reasons that a business may require a mobile application. [50 marks] Question COMP6239_2 As part of the transformation to modern Android Apps, Google has recently released Android Jetpack - a modern suite of architecture guidelines, tools and libraries. Name the major components of this modern suite and in each case briefly explain, in your view, the type of effects it may have on the future of Android mobile applications.
