The IEEE Second International Conference on Biometrics: Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS 08) is the premier research meeting focused on biometrics. Its broad scope includes advances in fundamental pattern recognition techniques relevant to biometrics, new algorithms and / or technologies for biometrics, analysis of specific applications, and analysis of the social impacts of biometrics technology. Areas of coverage include biometrics based on voice, fingerprint, iris, face, handwriting, gait and other modalities, as well as multi-modal biometrics and new biometrics based on novel sensing technologies. Submissions will be rigorously reviewed, and should clearly make the case for a documented improvement over the existing state of the art. Experimental results for contributions in established areas such as voice, face, iris, fingerprint, and gait are encouraged to use the largest and most challenging existing publicly available datasets. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
security and privacy |
recognition by gait |
face recognition |
iris biometrics |
ear biometrics |
palm/foot print |
multi-biometric fusion |
3D face recognition |
hand geometry |
fingerprint |
speaker recognition |
writer recognition |
smart guns |
anti-spoofing methods |
age effects |
new classifiers |
face appearance |
illumination- invariance |
covariate analysis |
feature analysis |
performance evaluation |
novel applications |
social impact analysis |
usability studies |
