The 2020 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2020) combines two major biometrics research conferences, the Biometrics Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS) conference and the International Conference on Biometrics (ICB). The blending of these two conferences in 2020 is through a special agreement between the IEEE Biometrics Council and the IAPR TC-4, and should present an exciting event for the entire worldwide biometrics research community.

Submissions to IJCB 2020 should represent original research work that is not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be rigorously reviewed and should clearly demonstrate improvements over the existing state of the art. Papers accepted and presented at IJCB 2020 will be available at IEEE Xplore.

** JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE **
A selection of the best reviewed papers from IJCB 2020 will be invited to a special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Biometrics, Behavior and Identity Science (TBIOM).

** IMPORTANT DATES **
IJCB 2020 introduces a two-round paper submission procedure. Details on the submission are available on the conference website.
