A class of semantic analysis systems thus defined and complemented with new
solutions described at the beginning of this chapter can be successfully used for
identifying and verifying persons.
The biometric analysis complementing semantic analysis processes in cognitive
systems proceeds as follows (Figure 6.17).
Based on a cognitive analysis hinging on the interpretation and the semantic
analysis of hand bone X-rays, the information system conducts a process of under-
standing image data to indicate and define the lesions occurring within the hand
skeleton. These lesions are stored in records linked to specific persons, and at an
additional stage, the system executes a biometric analysis whose results are tied to
the records of a given person. This process supports not only identifying the given
individual, but in addition also:
•
assigning the lesions observed in a given person to him/her;
•
identifying a person based on the characteristic features of his/her hands;
