Biometric Quality Workshop I Presentations

March 8-9, 2006
National Institute of Standards and Technology

This page is intended as a permanent archive of the presentations delivered to the 165 attendees of the March 2006 NIST Biometric Quality Workshop. In two cases the files linked here are slightly abridged versions of those actually given. In one case the speaker was unable to attend and the presentation is included here anyway.

The presentations are listed alphabetically by speaker name.
