Preface

The book I am introducing with Professor Tomomasa Nagashima is on the principles and applications of biometrics (BM) and Kansei engineering (KE) and their techniques. For the first time, biometrics and Kansei engineering are combined together in one book. The idea did not come incidentally. Biometrics in future will imply new technologies that will depend on people’s emotions and the prediction of their intention to take an action. For pervasive or ubiquitous networks, we need realtime human–computer interactions. Actually, KE is becoming the complementary part of BM in these as well as other aspects. The authors are indeed indebted to Professor Ryszard Tadeusiewicz for his steady support toward both fields of biometrics and Kansei engineering in Poland and
