EURASIP JOURNAL ON APPLIED SIGNAL PROCESSING Special Issue on: Biometric Signal Processing
Biometric signal processing is an emerging technology that enables the authentication, identification, or verification of an individual based on physiological, behavioral and molecular characteristics. With the advancement of computer vision and pattern recognition techniques, together with high-speed computers, research related to biometrics has developed rapidly in the last several decades, and has led to various applications. Biometric techniques include recognizing faces, hands, voices, signatures, irises, fingerprints, DNA patterns, etc. These enabling technologies for biometrics will play an important role in security, smart card and personalized eCommerce applications. The analysis of biometric information is a challenging task, and a wide range of signal processing techniques need to be applied. The success of the applications heavily relies on the efficiency, reliability and accuracy of these biometric signal processing techniques. The aim of this special issue is to bring together researchers working on biometric signal processing and its applications, with a particular emphasis on person authentication and identification. Prospective papers should be unpublished and present solid research work offering innovative contributions either from a methodological or application point of view. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Facial image analysis and face recognition - Fingerprint verification - Iris analysis and identification - Hand pattern identification - Speaker verification and recognition - Audio-visual speaker recognition - Signature analysis and verification - Keystroke recognition - DNA pattern analysis and verification - Biometric information compression, indexing and retrieval - Multimodal biometrics - Applications and implementations Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the Journal site http://asp.hindawi.com/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JASP's web submission system at http://asp.hindawi.com/wss/, according to the following timetable.
