<p><u></u> <u></u>Abstract <i><u></u><u></u></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u>Whether
using iris recognition to gain access to a secure facility or
face recognition to unlock a cell phone, biometric signal
processing is rapidly becoming a part of everyday life.
Many algorithms are being implemented on portable devices that
have a limited battery life. This talk will present some work,
conducted at the USNA Center for Biometric Signal Processing,
which indicates that significant energy savings can be obtained
by using C versus Java and Integers versus software Floats in
applications written for the Android operating system. A
comparison of the effect of using Integers versus Floats on a
modern iris recognition algorithm will also be presented.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
