From the reviews:
„Ratha and Govindaraju worked hard at bringing together 53 authors who contributed 24 papers on the latest technologies in advance biometrics. … This book would be especially helpful to graduate students looking for thesis/dissertation topics to pursue under a mentor, or could be used as a textbook in an advanced seminar on interdisciplinary applications of computing.“ (R. Goldberg, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
„Editors Ratha and Govindaraju have commissioned contributions from some of the leading authorities in the field and … provides a most comprehensive cover. … The contributions also include discussions on biometric standards, the all important security aspects, as well as databases and the created networks. … Readers will come from many groups of researchers, developers and those in society with an interest in what to many, is a new and fashionable study.“ (D. M. Hutton, Kybernetes, Vol. 37 (8), 2008)
Advances in Biometrics
Sensors, Algorithms and Systems
herausgegeben von N. K. Ratha und Venu GovindarajuBiometrics technology continues to stride forward with its wider acceptance and its perceived need in various new security facets of modern society. Biometrics is being required to meet the growing challenges of identity management. While biometrics finds use in all diverse applications, the research challenges continue to grow as the user community expects a fully automatic system to cover the whole universal population with almost no errors.
Recent advances in biometrics include new developments in sensors, modalities and algorithms. As new sensors are designed, newer challenges emerge in the algorithms for accurate recognition. New modalities have been discovered in addition to the fusion of existing modalities to improve accuracy and wider coverage.
Written for researchers, advanced students and practitioners to use as a handbook, this volume captures the very latest state-of-the-art research contributions from leading international researchersin the field.
