The IEEE Fourth International Conference on Biometrics: Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS 10) is the premier research meeting focused on biometrics. Its broad scope includes advances in fundamental pattern recognition techniques relevant to biometrics, new algorithms and / or technologies for biometrics, analysis of specific applications, and analysis of the social impacts of biometrics technology. Areas of coverage include biometrics based on voice, fingerprint, iris, face, handwriting, gait and other modalities, as well as multi-modal biometrics and new biometrics based on novel sensing technologies. Submissions will be rigorously reviewed, and should clearly make the case for a documented improvement over the existing state of the art. Experimental results for contributions in established areas such as voice, face, iris, fingerprint, and gait are encouraged to use the largest and most challenging existing publicly available datasets. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
fingerprint

iris biometrics

face recognition

speaker identification

writer recognition

hand geometry

recognition by gait

ear biometrics
palm/foot print

novel biometrics

multi-biometric methods

performance evaluation

security and privacy

anti-spoofing methods

template aging

novel applications

social impact analysis

usability studies

system-level evaluation

application case studies

soft biometrics

biometric databases

DNA biometrics

novel sensors
