the last decade, research on the automated recognition of people
has evolved to cover a large number of applications. From the
early days, when security was the driving force behind biometric
research, today’s challenges go far beyond security. Other
applications, such as sharing data over a network, mobile
computing and criminal investigations, are among the most
promising applications. Machine learning, Image understanding,
Signal analysis, Neuroscience, Forensic science, Digital
forensics and other disciplines, converged in a truly
multidisciplinary effort to devise and build advanced systems to
facilitate the interpretation of signals recorded from
individuals acting in a given environment. This is what we
simply call today “Biometrics”.<b
