Produktbeschreibung

Biometrics technology continues to stride forward with its wider acceptance and its perceived need in various new security facets of modern society. This volume captures the very latest state-of-the-art research contributions from leading international researchers in the field. This comprehensive treatment of biometrics offers coverage of the entire gamut of topics in the field, including data acquisition, pattern-matching algorithms, and issues that impact at the system level, such as standards, security, networks, and databases. It has been organized under three sections: sensors, advances in biometric matching algorithms, and topics that deal with issues at the systems level. Written for researchers and advanced students, this much needed concise volume is an ideal tool to use as a ready reference and will provide readers with a broader and deeper understanding of the topic.

Rezensionen

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)
