Pattern Recognition Principles and Techniques with Biometrics Applications

This book presents the fundamentals and advanced principles of pattern recognition and shows how they can be applied to biometrics. Drawing on probability theory, detection and estimation theory, digital signal processing and artificial neural networks, this book covers the design, development and evaluation of pattern recognition systems for applications such as biometric recognition and verification. Readers are provided with the necessary evaluation tools in order to apply the appropriate methods to a given pattern recognition application.
