In the last few years, face morphing has been shown to be a complex challenge for Face Recognition Systems (FRS). Thus, the evaluation of other biometric modalities such as fingerprint, iris, and others must be explored and evaluated to…
Iris segmentation and localization in non-cooperative environment is challenging due to illumination variations, long distances, moving subjects and limited user cooperation, etc. Traditional methods often suffer from poor performance when…
Biometrics systems have significantly improved person identification and authentication, playing an important role in personal, national, and global security. However, these systems might be deceived (or "spoofed") and, despite the recent…
