Many governments around the world are calling for the use of biometric systems to provide crucial societal functions, consequently making it an urgent area for action. The current performance of some biometric systems in terms of their error rates, robustness, and system security may prove to be inadequate for large-scale applications to process millions of users at a high rate of throughput.
This book focuses on fusion in biometric systems. It discusses the present level, the limitations, and proposed methods to improve performance. It describes the fundamental concepts, current research, and security-related issues. The book will present a computational perspective, identify challenges, and cover new problem-solving strategies, offering solved problems and case studies to help with reader comprehension and deep understanding.
This book is written for researchers, practitioners, both undergraduate and post-graduate students, and those working in various engineering fields such as Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, and Communications.
