CALL FOR PAPERS - IJCB 2023

The IEEE/IAPR International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB) is the premier international forum for research in biometrics and related technologies. It combines two major biometrics conferences, the IEEE Biometrics Theory, Applications, and Systems (BTAS) conference and the IAPR International Conference on Biometrics (ICB), and is made possible through a special agreement between the IEEE Biometrics Council and the IAPR TC-4. IJCB 2023 is the 7th iteration of this major joint event and will be held in Ljubljana (Slovenia), between 25-28 September 2023 as an in-person conference.

IJCB 2023 is intended to have a broad scope and invites papers that advance biometric technologies, sensor design, feature extraction and matching algorithms, security and privacy, and social impact of biometrics technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

+ Face, Iris, Fingerprint, Palmprint
+ Periocular, Ear, Vein, Speech
+ Gait, Gesture and Action Recognition
+ Multi-modal and Multi-Spectral Biometrics
+ Mobile-based Biometrics
+ Template Protection and Cryptosystems
+ Privacy, Demographic Bias, Fairness
+ Biometrics Explainability and Interpretability
+ Template Design, Selection and Update
+ Datasets, Evaluation, Benchmarking
+ Performance Modelling and Prediction
+ Large scale ID Management
+ Anti-spoofing, Presentation Attack Detection
+ Biometric DeepFakes, Digital Data Forensics
+ Biometric-related Law Enforcement and Forensics
+ Biometrics in Healthcare, Banking, IoT
+ Biometric-related Synthetic Realities
+ Ethical, Social and Legal Issues

*** Paper Submission ***
Submitted papers may not be accepted or under review elsewhere. Submissions may be up to eight pages, plus additional references, in conference format. Please visit the submission page for additional details on paper formatting. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.
