FOR CONFERENCE DSXXX ONLY
In addition to the abstract that is due by
October 22, 2012, prospective authors are
REQUIRED to submit, at the same time, a
Supplemental File that includes a full paper
(maximum of 12 pages including text, figures,
and bibliography) to facilitate the review
process. Abstract submissions without the
required Supplemental File will neither be
reviewed nor considered for acceptance.

Biometrics is the science of establishing human identity based
on the physical and behavioral characteristics of an individual
such as fingerprints, iris, face, voice, hand geometry, gait, etc.
Reliable automatic recognition of humans is a very important
topic in a number of law enforcement (e.g., criminal
investigation), government (e.g., border control), and
commercial (e.g., logical and physical access control)
applications. With increased emphasis on national and global
security, there is a growing and urgent need to automatically
identify humans both locally and remotely on a routine basis.
Biometrics is a rapidly evolving field that engages the research
of multiple disciplines including sensor design, pattern
recognition, computer vision, image analysis, signal
processing, statistics, computer security, etc. The purpose of
this conference is to provide a scientific forum for researchers,
engineers, system architects, and designers to report recent
advances in this important area of human identification using
biometrics. Suggested topics for presentation include, but are
not limited to:
• Biometric Theory
• Biometric Acquisition and Transmission
• Biometric Modalities
• Biometrics and Forensics
• Biometric System Design and Evaluation
• Biometric Security and Privacy
• Biometric Applications
• Surveillance
• Activity Recognition
• Voice Biometrics
