This book provides an integrated solution for security and safety in the home, covering both assistance in health monitoring and safety from strangers/intruders who want to enter the home with harmful intentions. It defines a system whereby recognition of a person/stranger at the door is done using three modules: Face Recognition, Voice Recognition and Similarity Index. These three modules are taken together to provide a percentage likelihood that the individual is in the known or unknown category. The system can also continuously monitor the health parameters of a vulnerable person living alone at home and aid them in calling for help in an emergency.

The authors have analyzed a number of existing biometric techniques to provide security for an individual living alone at home. ThlS,
