Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>Biometrics has become a burgeoning research area due to the
industrial and government needs for recognition and security
concerns. It has also become a center of focus for many
applications, such as identity authentication and
identification in civil and forensic fields. Recently,
advanced machine learning has received a great deal of
attention in solving difficult and complex problems related
to biometric recognition and security, where conventional
machine learning techniques have shown their limitations.<br>
<br>
This Special Issue aims to solicit original research papers,
as well as review articles focusing on biometrics and its
applications based on advanced machine learning algorithms.
We are inviting original research works covering novel
theories, innovative methods, and meaningful applications
that can potentially lead to significant advances in the
biometrics domain.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the
following:<br>
<br>
- Biometrics-based authentication and identification;<br>
- Physiological and behavioral biometrics (e.g., finger,
palm, face, eye, ear, iris, retina, vein, gait, handwriting,
voice);<br>
- Biometric feature extraction and matching;<br>
- Signal, image, and video processing in biometrics;<br>
- Advanced pattern recognition in biometrics;<br>
- Machine learning and deep learning in biometrics;<br>
- Artificial intelligence in biometrics;<br>
- Fusion techniques in biometrics;<br>
- Soft biometrics;<br>
- Multimodal biometrics;<br>
- Security and privacy in biometrics;<br>
- Big data challenges in biometrics;<br>
- Embedded biometric systems;<br>
- Emerging biometrics;<br>
- Related applications.<br>

<b>Manuscript Submission Information</b><br>
<br>
Manuscripts should be submitted online at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.mdpi.com">www.mdpi.com</a> by
registering and logging in to this website. Once you are
registered, click here to go to the submission form.
Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers
will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published
continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will
be listed together on the special issue website. Research
articles, review articles as well as short communications
are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract
(about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for
announcement on this website.<br>
<br>
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published
previously, nor be under consideration for publication
elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All
manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind
peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant
information for submission of manuscripts is available on
the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an
international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal
published by MDPI.<br>
<br>
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before
submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC)
for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF
(Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted
and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing
service prior to publication or during author revisions. <br>
