About this book
Biometrics refers to automated methods of recognizing a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. The Encyclopedia of Biometrics provides a comprehensive reference to topics in Biometrics, including concepts, modalities, algorithms, devices, systems, security, performance testing, applications and standardization.
With an A–Z format, the Encyclopedia of Biometrics provides easy access to relevant information on all aspects of biometrics for those seeking entry into this broad field. The Encyclopedia is composed of approximately 250 overview entries, and 800 definitional entries.
Each entry includes a definition, key words, list of synonyms, list of related entries, illustration(s), applications, and a bibliography. Most entries include useful literature references providing the reader with a portal to more detailed information. The style of the entries is expository and tutorial, making the encyclopedia a practical resource for experts in the field and professionals in other fields.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“A massive encyclopedia devoted to the study of security systems. … most of the entries contain references to further reading if you need to go into greater depth on any individual topic. … the layout is good and the cross-referencing is very clear … . Anyone with an interest in the mechanics of security systems will find this to be their best starting-point. … The editor and contributors should be congratulated. … Libraries of security agencies, etc. will obviously want a copy.” (Martin Guha, Reference Reviews, Vol. 24 (5), 2010)
