Conventional fingerprint sensors that are deployed in real-life applications lack the ability to peer inside a finger beyond the external surface. Subsurface information can provide complimentary biometric characteristics ...

Securing the safety of the children on online platforms is critical to avoid the mishaps of them being abused for sexual favors, which usually happens through predatory conversations. A number of approaches have been ...

Ear characteristic is a promising biometric modality that has demonstrated good biometric performance. In this paper, we investigate a novel and challenging problem to verify a subject (or user) based on the ear characteristics ...

Morphing attacks have posed a severe threat to Face Recognition System (FRS). Despite the number of advancements reported in recent works, we note serious open issues such as independent benchmarking, generalizability ...

Online grooming detection has become a critical research topic in the era of extensive data analysis. It is essential to protect vulnerable users, particularly adolescents, against sexual predation on online platforms and ...

Identity documents (or IDs) play an important role in verifying the identity of a person with wide applications in banks, travel, video-identification services and border controls. Replay or photocopied ID cards can be ...

Biometrics has emerged as a promising technology for automated recognition of individuals. The stored biometric characteristics are used to recognise an individual and hence biometrics technology plays a major role in ...

The growth of biometrics-based authentication in various services raises the need to protect biometric data at the storage level. Specifically, biometric templates need to be protected after features are extracted to avoid ...

Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for many applications in supervised manner has resulted in significant improvement in state-of-the-art performance. Such supervised models ...
