Exceptional Cases In Biometric Deployments

Ghana Vote Will Cater for Amputees (Ghana Web)

Amputees and persons with any challenge with the fingers will be catered for to register unhindered when the biometric registration process begins next month.

Person with such impairment, those with no fingers or some impairment that makes their finger prints unidentifiable will be registered and identified as such in the biometric register, together with their facial features.

The goal of biometric ID management systems is return on investment, not perfection. All large-scale biometric deployments must anticipate exceptional cases and plan for how to handle them.
