Synopsis

This book highlights new advances in biometrics using deep learning toward deeper and wider background, deeming it “Deep Biometrics”. The book aims to highlight recent developments in biometrics using semi-supervised and unsupervised methods such as Deep Neural Networks, Deep Stacked Autoencoder, Convolutional Neural Networks, Generative Adversary Networks, and so on. The contributors demonstrate the power of deep learning techniques in the emerging new areas such as privacy and security issues, cancellable biometrics, soft biometrics, smart cities, big biometric data, biometric banking, medical biometrics, healthcare biometrics, and biometric genetics, etc. The goal of this volume is to summarize the recent advances in using Deep Learning in the area of biometric security and privacy toward deeper and wider applications.

• Highlights the impact of deep learning over the field of biometrics in a wide area;
• Exploits the deeper and wider background of biometrics, suchas privacy versus security, biometric big data, biometric genetics, and biometric diagnosis, etc.;
• Introduces new biometric applications such as biometric banking, internet of things, cloud computing, and medical biometrics.

In the past 8 years, Chang-Tsun has been active in facilitating the cross-fertilisation of multimedia forensics and biometrics through his leadership in anumber of multinational projects.

Danny Crookes is an emeritus professor in Computer Science, Queens University Belfast, UK. He was appointed to the Chair of Computer Engineering in 1993 at Queens University Belfast, and was Head of Computer Science from 1993 to 2002. He was Director of Research for Speech, Image and Vision Systems at the Institute for Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT) at Queens University Belfast before he retired in 2017. His current research interests include the use of novel architectures (especially GPUs) for high-performance image processing. He has applied expertise in language design, optimizing compilers and software generators, plus software tools for hardware description and architecture generation, to the goal of developing high level software tools to enable rapid development of real-time video processing systems. He has been currently involved in projects in automatic shoeprint recognition (ESPRC), speech separation and enhancement (EPSRC) and processing of 4D confocal microscopy imagery (sponsored by INI and Andor Technologies). He has published over 200 scientific papers in journals and international conferences, and has presented tutorials on parallel image processing at several international conferences.

Weizhi Meng is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Kongens Lyngby, Denmark. He received his B.Eng. degree in Computer Science from the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China and obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU), Hong Kong in 2013. He was known as Yuxin Meng and prior to joining DTU, he worked as a research scientist in Infocomm Security (ICS) Department, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore. He won the Outstanding Academic Performance Award during his doctoral study. He is a recipient of The HKIE Outstanding Paper Award for Young Engineers/Researchers in both 2014 and 2017, and a co-recipient of the Best Student Paper Award from NSS 2016. His primary research interests are cyber security and intelligent technology in security including intrusion detection, mobile security and authentication, HCI security, cloud security, trust computation, web security, malware and vulnerability analysis. He also shows a strong interest in applied cryptography. He is a member of ACM and IEEE. 

Christophe Rosenberger obtained his PhD in Information Technology from the University of Rennes 1 in 1999. His PhD thesis work was undertaken at ENSSAT in Lannion between 1996 and 1999 in the field of hyperspectral image segmentation. He joined the ENSI de Bourges school of engineering in Bourges (known as INSA Centre Val de Loire) as assistant professor in 2000. In 2007, he joined the ENSICAEN’s school of engineering in Caen as full professor. He is actually vice-director of theGREYC research lab composed of 200 members.
