GENERAL INFORMATION:

Within the framework of the 2017 40th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP - http://tsp.vutbr.cz/), which will be held on July 5-7, 2017, in Barcelona, Spain, we invite you to the 1st International Workshop on Recent Advances in Biometrics and its Applications organized by LIASD Laboratory of the University of Paris 8. The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent fundamental and applied research works providing novel solutions to challenging problems in biometrics. It is a great opportunity to bring researchers and experts together to discuss the current and future state of biometrics and possible areas of further cooperation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Biometric recognition (finger, palmprint, face, eye, ear, iris, retina, gait, handwriting, voice, etc.)
- Biometric image processing, feature extraction and matching
- Signal processing and machine learning techniques in biometrics
- Pattern recognition for biometrics
- Soft biometrics
- Multimodal biometrics
- Online biometric systems
- Embedded biometric systems
- Related applications
