Abstract

Synonyms Osmology; Scent identification line-ups Definition Human odor can be differentiated among individuals and can therefore be seen as a biometric that can be used to identify this person. Dogs have been trained to identify objects held by a specific person for forensic purposes from the beginning of the twentieth century. Advancing technology has made it possible to identify humans based on analysis of headspace objects they have handled, opening the route to the use of odor as a biometric.
