SSB 2012 - 2012 International Summer School for Advanced Studies on Biometrics for Secure Authentication (SSB)

In this 9th edition of the Summer School, the courses will mainly focus on new and emerging issues: How to exploit the human dimension in multi-biometric data acquisition and processing. How to exploit new technologies in forensics and in security applications; Standardization, evaluation and assessment of biometric applications. The courses will provide a clear and in-depth picture on the state-of-the-art in biometric verification/identification technology, both under the theoretical and scientific point of view as well as in diverse application domains. The lectures will be given by 18 outstanding experts in the field, from both academia and industry. Emphasis will be given to evaluation, standardization and to define the maturity of technology for the deployment of biometrics in a wide range of applications.
In the last decade, several recognition and authentication systems based on biometric measurements have been proposed. As more security is required, multimodality has also come to the fore. Moreover, emerging applications also require to perform human identification in different operational conditions, in motion and at a distance.
What are the most up-to-date core technologies developed in the field? How to deal with and take advantage of the man-machine interaction? What are the most relevant issues in biometric standardization? What can we learn from human perception? How to develop/integrate a biometric recognition system?
This school follows the successful International Summer Schools on Biometrics held since 2003, but with a different target. In this 9th edition, the courses will mainly focus on new and emerging issues in biometrics:
How to exploit the human dimension in multi-biometric data acquisition and processing;
How to exploit new technologies in forensics and in security applications;
Standardization, evaluation and assessment of biometric applications.
