1. A method for estimating a continuous personal characteristic of an individual, the method comprising:
- collecting a spatio-spectral biometric data measurement from the individual; and
determining the continuous personal characteristic of the individual by applying an algorithmic relationship between spatio-spectral biometric data measurements and values of the continuous personal characteristic derived from application of an algorithm to a plurality of spatio-spectral biometric data measurements and corresponding collected personal-characteristic values.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for estimating a personal characteristic of an individual. A biometric data measurement is collected from the individual. The personal characteristic is determined by applying an algorithmic relationship between biometric data measurements and values of the personal characteristic derived from application of a multivariate algorithm to previous measurements.
