The field of biometrics research encompasses the need to associate an identity to an
individual based on the persons physiological or behaviour traits. While the use of intrusive …

Gait is one biological characteristic which has attracted strong research interest due to its
potential use in human identification. Although almost two decades have passed since a …

Innovation has formed much of the rich history in biometrics. The field of soft biometrics was
originally aimed to augment the recognition process by fusion of metrics that were sufficient …

In spite of the increasing concerns raised by privacy advocates against the intrusive
deployment of large scale surveillance cameras, the research community has progressed …

Gait, the style of human walking, has been studied as a behavioral characteristic of an
individual. Several studies have utilized gait to identify individuals with the aid of machine …

The idea of using measurements of the human body for identity matching is deeply
associated with Bertillonage, a historic biometric system that was briefly applied until it was …

Following the technological rise of surveillance cameras and their subsequent proliferation
in public places, the use of information gathered by such means for investigative and …

Soft biometrics have been emerging to complement other traits and are particularly useful for
poor quality data. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to estimate human head …

Following the significance of soft biometrics to facilitate seamless recognition or retrieval, the
need for multi-modality annotated datasets is increasing-to evaluate any standalone soft …

Due to the unprecedented growth of security cameras and impossibility of manpower to
supervise them, the integration of biometric technologies into surveillance systems would be …
