Advanced Pattern Recognition Technologies With Applications to Biometrics

Zhang (computer science, Hong Kong Polytechnic U.), Song (applied mathematics, New Star Research Institute of Applied Technology), Xu (pattern recognition and intelligence systems, Harbin Institute of Technology) and Liang (automation, Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) have written this textbook on the use of biometric technologies for security, identification and forensics, noting how these techniques are highly reliable and becoming more widely used. Written for advanced students and researchers in the fields of computer science and information technology, this volume covers both biometric data discrimination and multi- biometrics. Tensor-based biometric data discrimination technologies are also discussed in depth. Medical Information Science Reference is an imprint of IGI Global.
