** **Abstract **

** **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.****

** ** Bio****

** **LCDR Robert Schultz is a submarine officer that has been assigned as a
Junior Permanent Military Professor of Electrical Engineering at the United
States Naval Academy.  His research interests include hyperspectral and
biometric image processing.  As a member of the USNA Center for Biometric
Signal Processing, he has recently been working to identify more energy
efficient methods for biometric algorithm implementation.
