Biometrics: Theory, Methods, and Applications

N. V. Boulgouris,Konstantinos N. Plataniotis,Evangelia Micheli-Tzanakou

Description

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.
