Claim One:
1. A process of recording biometric features in a computer recordable medium to reduce storage space required to store the biometric features, comprising the steps of: extracting a raw biometrics feature of one or more biometric patterns comprising finger prints, palm prints, iris images, and retina images; segmenting each one or more raw biometric patterns into at least two regions; identifying anchor features and at least two other significant features in each of the at least two regions: wherein the anchor feature consists of: (a) a centre point in finger prints or palm prints, (b) an optic disc in a retina image, (c) a lens section in an iris image; and wherein the significant features consist of: (d) ridge join points or ridge line endings for finger prints or palm prints, (e) macula and vessel density in a retina, and a lens and iris portion in an iris image; computing positional relativity of each significant feature in relation to the anchor feature wherein the positional relativity includes one or more distance, direction or segment units; computing the minimum and maximum value of the positional relativity of each feature; concatenating the values obtained in the computing steps as a feature by compressing the values obtained in the computing steps by one byte per character; and storing in the computer recordable medium of the feature obtained in the immediately preceding step, wherein all of the steps are performed by a computer.
