Outline:

This talk deals with some fundamental aspects of biometrics and its applications. It basically includes the following subtopics: (1) Overview of Biometric Technology and Applications, (2) Importance of Security: A Scenario of Terrorists Attack, (3) What are Biometric Technologies?, (4) Biometrics: Analysis vs Synthesis.(5) Analysis: Interactive Pattern Recognition Concept, (6) Concept of “Semantics” and “Ambiguity”, Their Importance and Applications, (7) How it works: Fingerprint Extraction and Matching, Iris, and Facial Analysis, (8) Authentication Applications, (9) Thermal Imaging: Emotion Recognition. (10) Synthesis in biometrics, (11) Modeling and Simulation, and (12) more Examples and Applications in Interactive Environment.

Intended Audience:

Scientists and engineers, with some computer science, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and/or image processing background or working experience.

Why this topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the audience:

Attendees can learn basic concept of “biometrics”, which is of growing interest and importance in recent years, and its applications in many fields, including engineering, scientific experiments, biomedical imaging, pattern recognition, and homeland national security.

Evidence of teaching experience and evidence of scholarship in the area:

A preliminary version of this talk has been successfully presented in various international conferences, including IEEE-SMC2007 (Montreal, Canada), IEEE-BIBE2007 (Harvard Medical, USA), IEEE-IAS2007 (Manchester, UK), IEEE-WAPR2007(Beijing, China), AIA2007 (Innsbruck, Austria), and WorldComp 2007 (Las Vegas, USA), and has attracted wide attention and warm reception.
