| Abstract
This presentation aims to describe the various challenges associated
with automatic person recognition using multi-modal biometrics
system, and to identify the various mathematical models of these
challenges. This talk will be an attempt to highlight the various
branches of mathematics that provide possible and feasible
solutions. I would start with the curse of dimension problem
as one of the most serious obstacles to face recognition, and
highlight the mathematics that underpin dimension reduction
techniques. I would also discuss the problem of protecting biometric
templates against theft and replay attacks, and demonstrate how know
mathematical techniques could contribute to solving this problem. |
