Second Edition, ITAvE, 2016. – 342 p. – ISBN: 953510859X.The topics covered in this book reflect well both aspects of development. They include the new development in forensic speaker recognition, 3D and thermo face recognition, finger vein recognition, contact-less biometric system, hand geometry recognition, biometric performance evaluation, multi-biometric template protection, and novel subfields in the new challenge fields.
The key objective of the book is to keep up with the new technologies on some recent theoretical development as well as new trends of applications in biometrics.
The book consists of 13 chapters. It is divided into four sections, namely, theory and method, performance evaluation, security and template protection, and other applications.Contents
