Preface

Biometrics, defined as the automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and physiological characteristics, can provide more stable and feasible solutions to personal verification and identification than traditional token-based and knowledge-based methods. In the past few decades, tremendous progress has been achieved in biometrics. Versatile biometric recognition techniques have been developed, including fingerprint, face, iris, palmprint, and ear recognition, and various biometric systems have been deployed in the applications of assess control, forensics, border crossing, network security, etc. Recently, with the ever-growing need for reliable authentication of human identity in the complex physical and network environments, much attention have been given to biometric research for reliable recognition of low-quality data or under unconstrained scenarios, which has imposed new challenges to the field of biometrics. The development and popularization of sensors shed some light on improving the accuracy and stability of biometric recognition. The deployment of national ID progra
