Markerless vision-based human motion analysis has the potential to provide an
inexpensive, non-obtrusive solution for the estimation of body poses. The significant …

In this work we seek to provide insight on the general topic of soft biometrics. We firstly
present a new refined definition of soft biometrics, emphasizing on the aspect of human …

Recent research has explored the possibility of extracting ancillary information from primary
biometric traits viz., face, fingerprints, hand geometry, and iris. This ancillary information …

Much of the research on video-based human motion capture assumes the body shape is
known a priori and is represented coarsely (eg using cylinders or superquadrics to model …

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 …

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 …

Recent advancement of research in biometrics, computer vision, and natural language
processing has discovered opportunities for person retrieval from surveillance videos using …

Although not being distinctive enough to be used for identification, height is long used in
forensics to narrow the set of suspects. Similarly, it can be used in video surveillance …

As early as the nineteenth century, measurements of the face and body were used for
forensic identification. It was believed that no two individuals had the exact same …

Anthropometric biometrics are the most suitable features for long-term people
reidentification. However, feature selection is still a major problem in the anthropometric …
