About this eBook
Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, is the science of establishing the identity of a person based on physical or behavioral attributes. It is a rapidly evolving field with applications ranging from securely accessing one’s computer to gaining entry into a country. While the deployment of large-scale biometric systems in both commercial and government applications has increased the public awareness of this technology, "Introduction to Biometrics" is the first textbook to introduce the fundamentals of Biometrics to undergraduate/graduate students. The three commonly used modalities in the biometrics field, namely, fingerprint, face, and iris are covered in detail in this book. Few other modalities like hand geometry, ear, and gait are also discussed briefly along with advanced topics such as multibiometric systems and security of biometric systems. Exercises for each chapter will be available on the book website to help students gain a better understanding of the topics andobtain practical experience in designing computer programs for biometric applications. These can be found at: http://www.csee.wvu.edu/~ross/BiometricsTextBook/.
Designed for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and electrical engineering, "Introduction to Biometrics" is also suitable for researchers and biometric and computer security professionals.

I am a Professor, an active researcher and a consultant to Government and Corporate establishments in Biometrics. I have been teaching a popular post graduate elective "Biometrics" to students at my University. While the authors of this book are renowned stalwarts in this area and their publications are widely used both in research and teaching, a comprehensive textbook was thus far elusive and more than needed. This book is a fine gift to the Biometrics community - exceeding expectations! The treatment of the subject is very lucid and precise, covering all areas and current challenges in Biometrics.
The supplementary material and exercises are excellent resources for augmenting students' understanding while there are extremely useful tips even for seasoned researchers with significant experience in the area. This book is a must read for teachers, students, researchers and Biometrics enthusiasts. For me personally, a long search is over!
