From the reviews:
„... a useful reference for all biometric security professionals and researchers. The four coauthors have a distinguished combination of academic and professional experience.... Overall, readers will be pleased with the style and substance of this book.“ -Computing Reviews
„This is a comprehensive reviews of its topic … . The thoroughness of the treatment of biometric methods is not obvious from the title. This feature will make the book particularly valuable in some robotics contexts. … The intended audience includes researchers, practicing engineers, and students … . The book is suggested as a reference book for a graduate course on biometrics. The material is clearly presented … . This will certainly be a standard reference work in its field.“ (Alex M. Andrew, Robotica, Vol. 22, 2004)
„The book is the first reference on automatic fingerprint recognition and provides an in-depth survey of the fingerprint state-of-the-art, presenting the most recent advances in fingerprints … . is ideally suited to researchers and students in biometrics, pattern recognition, forensics, image processing, and computer vision. In addition, it will be essential to developers of biometric solutions, biometric users … as well as to project managers and system integrators and administrators involved in the analysis, design, and management of finger-print-based biometric systems.“ (Computer Spectrum, Issue 4, 2003)
