Edited by a panel of experts, this book fills a gap in the existing
literature by comprehensively covering system, processing, and
application aspects of biometrics, based on a wide variety of biometric
traits. The book provides an extensive survey of biometrics theory,
methods, and applications, making it an indispensable source of
information for researchers, security experts, policy makers, engineers,
practitioners, and graduate students. The book's wide and in-depth
coverage of biometrics enables readers to build a strong, fundamental
understanding of theory and methods, and provides a foundation for
solutions to many of today's most interesting and challenging biometric
problems.
