ICB 2012 - The 5th IAPR/IEEE International Conference on Biometrics

International Conference on Biometrics was established in 2006 as a biennial conference by merging AVBPA (Audio- and Video-based Person Authentication), ICBA (International Conference on Biometric Authentication) and other biometric workshops, and has established itself as a premier international conference in biometrics. The first edition of ICB was held in Hong Kong, China (2006), the second in Seoul, Korea (2007), and the third in Alghero, Italy (2009). The fourth edition will be held in conjunction with the BTAS conference (Biometrics: Theory, Applications, Systems) in Washington, DC, USA (October 2011) and is called the International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB). It is an official conference of the IAPR Technical Committee on Biometrics (TC4).

The 5th International Conference on Biometrics (ICB 2012) will have a broad scope and invites papers that advance biometric technologies, sensor design, feature extraction and matching algorithms, analysis of security and privacy, and evaluation of social impact of biometrics technology. Topics will include biometric systems based on fingerprint, iris, face, voice, gait and other modalities as well as biometric fusion and emerging biometrics based on novel sensing technologies.

All submissions must clearly articulate the novelty of the work and must report results on publicly available datasets whenever possible. Submissions will be carefully reviewed by a double-blind process.
