Biometrics: Personal Identification in Networked Society is a comprehensive and accessible source of state-of-the-art information on all existing and emerging biometrics: the science of automatically identifying individuals based on their physiological or behavior characteristics. In particular, the book covers: - General principles and ideas of designing biometric-based systems and their underlying tradeoffs - Identification of important issues in the evaluation of biometrics-based systems - Integration of biometric cues, and the integration of biometrics with other existing technologies - Assessment of the capabilities and limitations of different biometrics - The comprehensive examination of biometric methods in commercial use and in research development - Exploration of some of the numerous privacy and security implications of biometrics Also included are chapters on face and eye identification, speaker recognition, networking, and other timely technology-related issues. All chapters are written by leading internationally recognized experts from academia and industry. Biometrics: Personal Identification in Networked Society is an invaluable work for scientists, engineers, application developers, systems integrators, and others working in biometrics.
