Synopsis

Following the previous four annual conferences, the 5th Chinese Conference on Biometrics Recognition (Sinobiometrics 2004) was held in Guangzhou, China in December 2004. The conference this year was aimed at promoting the international exchange of ideas and providing an opportunity for keeping abreast of the latest developments in biometric algorithms, systems, and applications. The 1st Biometrics Verification Competition (BVC) on face, iris, and fingerprint recognition was also conducted in conjunction with the conference. This book is composed of 74 papers presented at Sinobiometrics 2004, contributed by researchers and industrial practitioners from Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, France, UK, US, as well as China. Of these, 60 papers were selected from 140 submissions and 14 were invited. The papers not only presented recent technical advances, but also addressed issues in biometric system design, standardization, and applications. Included among the invited were four feature papers on the ideas and algorithms of the best-performing biometric engines, which were either competition winners at the Face Authentication Test (FAT) 2004 or the Fingerprint Verification Competition (FVC) 2004, or they were the best-performing iris and palmprint recognition algorithms. The papers were complemented by five keynote lectures on biometrics, and face, fingerprint, and iris authentication and multimodal fusion by Arun Ross (West Virginia University) and Anil K. Jain (Michigan State University), Josef Kittler (University of Surrey), John Daugman (University of Cambridge), Raffaele Cappelli (University of Bologna), and Stan Z. Li (Chinese Academy of Sciences).

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th Chinese Conference on Biometric Recognition, SINOBIOMETRICS 2004, held in Guanzhou, China in December 2004.The 60 revised full papers presented together with 14 invited papers by internationally leading researchers were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on biometrics, best performing biometric engines, face localization, pose estimation, face recognition, 3D based methods, subspace and discriminant analysis, systems and applications, fingerprint preprocessing and minutiae extraction, fingerprint recognition and matching, fingerprint classificaiton, iris recognition, speaker recognition, and other biometric primitives.
