Theory, Methods, and Applications

An in-depth examination of the cutting edge of biometrics

This book fills a gap in the literature by detailing the recent advances and emerging theories, methods, and applications of biometric systems in a variety of infrastructures. Edited by a panel of experts, it provides comprehensive coverage of:

• Multilinear discriminant analysis for biometric signal recognition




• Biometric identity authentication techniques based on neural networks




• Multimodal biometrics and design of classifiers for biometric fusion




• Feature selection and facial aging modeling for face recognition




• Geometrical and statistical models for video-based face authentication




• Near-infrared and 3D face recognition




• Recognition based on fingerprints and 3D hand geometry




• Iris recognition and ECG-based biometrics




• Online signature-based authentication




• Identification based on gait




• Information theory approaches to biometrics




• Biologically inspired methods and biometric encryption




• Biometrics based on electroencephalography and event-related potentials

Biometrics: Theory, Methods, and Applications is an indispensable resource for researchers, security experts, policymakers, engineers, and graduate students.
