Soft biometrics have been recently proposed for improving the verification performance of
biometric recognition systems. Examples of soft biometrics are skin, eyes, hair colour, height …

When multiple instances of single biometrics can be acquired from a single input
simultaneously, a multiple-step acquisition at additional transaction time cost can be …

Experimental and theoretical evidences showed that multiple classifier systems (MCSs) can
outperform single classifiers in terms of classification accuracy. MCSs are currently used in …

This paper investigates an information theoretic approach for formulating performance
indices for the biometric authentication. Firstly, we formulate the constrained capacity, as a …

Sources of information in a multibiometric system are often assumed to be statistically
independent in order to simplify the design of the fusion algorithm. However, the …

The notion of remote biometrics or biometrics at a distance is today of paramount importance
to provide a secure mean for user-friendly identification and surveillance. In 2007 the …

This work is focused on the design and the realization of a sensing seat system for human
authentication. Such a system may be used for security purposes in trucks, cars, offices, and …

This research introduces a noise-resistant and computational efficient segmentation
approach towards less constrained iris recognition. The UBIRIS. v2 database which contains …

Les travaux effectués dans le cadre de cette thèse portent sur l'identification automatique de
visages dans des bases de données d'images numériques. L'objectif est de simplifier le …

Automating the process of postmortem identification of deceased individuals based on
dental characteristics is receiving increased attention. With the large number of victims …
