Advances in Image and Video Technology ; 2nd Pacific Rim Symposium, PSIVT 2007 Santiago, Chile, December 17-19, 2007 Proceedings
The aim of the symposium was to promote and disseminate ongoing research on multi- dia hardware and image sensor technologies, graphics and visualization, image analysis, multiple view imaging and processing, computer vision applications, image and video coding, and multimedia processing. The volume is a realization of the ongoing success of the Pacific Rim Symposium on Video and Image Te- nology
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.
