Biometrics Workshop

In recent years, biometrics has attracted substantial attention from various disciplines and has seen a tremendous growth in researches. Practical applications have been introduced to the market due to the advancement of electronic devices, mobile technology and computing power. Biometric modalities such as face recognition, fingerprint recognition, voice recognition and multimodal biometrics are well known for their convenience where no passwords, keys and cards are needed.

This workshop will focus on the current issues and fundamental techniques of some common biometric modalities: Typing Biometrics, Voice Biometrics and Multimodal Biometrics. Participants will also be given the opportunity to learn and develop the theories as well as the mechanisms through the tutorial sessions.

Targeted Participant: Undergraduate and postgraduate students; academic staff and researchers; engineers and government representatives who may need to understand the fundamentals and implementation of biometrics security.
