41for a given randomly chosen authentication group v, <strong>of</strong> a given size n, the reliability <strong>of</strong> identification(averaged over the subjects in v) is a function only <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong> non-empty categoriesF(v). Furthermore we provided statistical analysis <strong>of</strong> this reliability, over large populations. Thelatter part provided bounds that, in the interference limited setting suggest an exponential reductionin the probability <strong>of</strong> interference patterns, as a result <strong>of</strong> a linear increase in ρ. Finally wemade some observations regarding algorithmic estimation and gave an example <strong>of</strong> how to counteract,given known population statistics.Having analyzed in this chapter pertinent measures and dynamics in the process <strong>of</strong> humanidentification based on SBSs, we proceed in the next chapter 4 to study the process <strong>of</strong> employingSBSs for pruning a large database search. The goal will be then not to identify a subject, but ratherto pre-filter such a large database for a consecutive processing with a more reliable algorithm, e.g.classical face recognition.
