Preface

Biometric systems are used for authentication of a person in many institutions, organization, and agencies. The main reason for use of this system is that it is able to distinguish an authorized person from an unauthorized person. These systems use a person’s physical and/or behavioural biometric traits for authentication. These traits can include fingerprints, facial recognition, eye scans (retina, iris), handwritten signatures, voice and speech recognition, and dental characteristics. For a human identification system, these biometric traits must be time-invariant property; otherwise, false acceptance rate (FAR) of the system will be increased. Recently, dental modalities have played a significant role in human authentication. Disasters, such as plane crashes and car accidents, where the human body is burned due to fire, result in biometric modalities such as facial features, iris, fingerprint, palm print, an
