IEEE Third International Conference on

The IEEE Third International Conference on Biometrics: Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS 09) 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:

Conference location:  BTAS 09 will be held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, convenient to numerous dining, shopping, and tourist attractions.  Families should enjoy visiting Washington DC at this time of year. Room reservations at the conference rate are available through September 7 (5:00 pm EST).

Sponsorship:  BTAS 09 is sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man & Cybernetics Society and the IEEE Biometrics Council.

Previous conference reports:  BTAS 2008, BTAS 2007.
