Multimedia Content Representation, Classification and Security ; International Workshop, MRCS 2006, Istanbul, Turkey, September 11-13, 2006, Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Multimedia Content Representation, Classification and Security, MRCS 2006, held in Istanbul, Turkey in September 2006. The 100 revised papers presented together with 4 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 190 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on biometric recognition, multimedia content security, steganography, watermarking, authentication, classification for biometric recognition, digital watermarking, content analysis and representation, 3D object retrieval and classification, representation, analysis and retrieval in cultural heritage, content representation, indexing and retrieval, content analysis and classification, feature extraction and classification, multimodal signal processing, 3D video and free viewpoint video, multimedia content transmission and classification, video and image processing, as well as video analysis and representation.
Handbook of multibiometrics
Handbook of Multibiometrics, a professional book, introduces multibiometric systems, and demonstrates the noteworthy advantages of these systems over their unimodal counterparts. In addition, this book describes in detail the various scenarios that are possible when fusing biometric evidence from multiple information sources. This comprehensive volume on multibiometric systems concisely and clearly outlines the different fusion methodologies that have been proposed by researchers to integrate multiple biometric traits.
Handbook of Face Recognition
This authoritative handbook is the first to provide complete coverage of face recognition, including major established approaches, algorithms, systems, databases, evaluation methods, and applications. After a thorough introductory chapter from the editors, 15 chapters address the sub-areas and major components necessary for designing operational face recognition systems. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic, reviewing background information, reviewing up-to-date techniques, presenting results, and offering challenges and future directions.
Handbook of Biometrics
The Handbook of Biometrics -- an edited volume by prominent invited researchers in biometrics -- describes the fundamentals as well as the latest advancements in the burgeoning field of biometrics. It is designed for professionals, practitioners and researchers in biometrics, pattern recognition and computer security. The Handbook of Biometrics can be used as a primary textbook for an undergraduate biometrics class. This book is also suitable as a secondary textbook or reference for advanced-level students in computer science.
Biometric Authentication ; International ECCV 2002 Workshop Copenhagen, Denmark, June 1, 2002 Proceedings
Biometric authentication refers to identifying an individual based on his or her distinguishing physiological and/or behavioral characteristics. It associates an individual with a previously determined identity based on that individual s appearance or behavior. Because many physiological or behavioral characteristics (biometric indicators) are distinctive to each person, biometric identifiers are inherently more reliable and more capable than knowledge-based (e.g., password) and token-based (e.g., a key) techniques in differentiating between an authorized person and a fraudulent impostor. For this reason, more and more organizations are looking to automated identity authentication systems to improve customer satisfaction, security, and operating efficiency as well as to save critical resources.
Advances in biometrics ; International conference, ICB 2006, Hong Kong, China, January 5-7, 2006, Proceedings
Biometrics has emerged as a reliable person identification method that can over-come some of the limitations of the traditional automatic personal identificationmethods. With significant advances in biometric technology and a correspondingincrease in the number of applications incorporating biometrics, it is essentialthat we bring together researchers from academia and industry as well as practi-tioners to share ideas, problems and solutions for the development and successfuldeployment of state-of-the-art biometric systems.The International Conference on Biometrics (ICB 2006) followed the success-ful International Conference on Biometric Authentication (ICBA 2004) to facil-itate this interaction. ICB 2006 received a large number of high-quality researchpapers. After a careful review of 192 submissions, 104 papers were acceptedfor presentation.
