In this paper, we propose a novel face recognition system based on fusing thermal and
visible descriptors. The proposed approach is divided in two steps: training and validation. In …

In this study, a fully automatic pose and expression invariant 3D face alignment algorithm is
proposed to handle frontal and profile face images which is based on a two pass course to …

Indoor video surveillance systems often use the face modality to establish the identity of a
person of interest. However, the face image may not offer sufficient discriminatory …

The Encyclopedia of Image Processing presents a vast collection of well-written articles
covering image processing fundamentals (eg color theory, fuzzy sets, cryptography) and …

This paper presents recent advances in biometric recognition, where we focus on face,
fingerprint and iris recognition, which are major research topics on biometric recognition. We …

Facial micro-expressions (ME) are manifested by human reflexive behavior and thus they
are useful to disclose the genuine human emotions. Their analysis plays a pivotal role in …

In this paper, we propose two novel biometrics-based secure key agreement protocols,
namely Secure Key Agreement-Pure Biometrics (SKA-PB) and Secure Key Agreement …

In the last years, several researchers have interested in two-dimensional (2D) palmprint
recognition. In order to enhance the security of biometric systems, recently, some works …

Humans have the ability to identify each other. Identification of a person by his facial image
is known as face recognition. To identify a person by comparing image data or live capture …

Work on pervasive systems for performing continuous identity recognition has become a
major research line due to the more recent developments on wearable and more user …
