Biometric Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Biometric recognition continues to be one of the most widely studied pattern recognition problems. The field is being driven in large part by the rise in hacking and the increasing need of advancing technological systems, such as the Internet and cellular phones, to secure personal identification. Biometric recognition is defined by several critical issues involved in the problem, such as quality checking of sensor inputs, biodata security, aliveness detection, and multimodal authentication. Regardless of the biometric chosen, all recognition systems must also isolate and extract a set of features in the biometric image or pattern that offers the greatest amount of information.

This Special Issue aims to highlight advances in machine learning as it relates to biometric recognition. Research papers on any of the critical issues involved, feature extraction and selection, and implementation problems and solutions are solicited.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
