We describe how oriented Basic Image Feature Columns (oBIF Columns) can be used for
writer identification and how this texture-based scheme can be enhanced by encoding a …

Interest in the exploitation of soft biometrics information has continued to develop over the
last decade or so. In comparison with traditional biometrics, which focuses principally on …

As biometric systems are deployed in increasingly diverse applications, it becomes
correspondingly important to understand the impact which human aging has on system …

This paper proposes and investigates experimentally an approach to age prediction from iris
images by using a combination of a small number of very simple geometric features, and a …

This paper investigates and explores the impact of physical ageing in signature biometrics.
Experimental performance evaluation, using three different signature databases, is carried …

The human experience in the analysis of the handwriting of male and female writers
indicates that gender affects the appearance of the handwritten text. These differences are …

The effectiveness with which individual identity can be predicted in, for example, an
antiterrorist scenario can benefit from seeking a broad base of identity evidence. The issue …

Any individual's biometric data are likely to change with the passage of time and, as a result,
developing biometric applications for long-term use is a challenging task. One of the factors …

This paper introduces an empirical investigation which directly addresses and explores
gender prediction capacity from digitised handwriting data from several different …

The prediction of individual characteristics from biometric data which falls short of full identity
prediction is nevertheless a valuable capability in many practical applications. This paper …
