Call for paper IJCB 2023 - Special Session on 3D Biometrics with Monocular Vision

by ABHIJIT DAS

In recent times digital biometrics is of immense importance in all spheres of life. Mostly the advances are in the direction of 3D biometrics and the face is the body part that is used mostly. Though face biometrics is one of the most used forms after fingerprint right now, it is also open to many kinds of presentation attack instruments. Presentation attack instruments are mainly videos, photographs or masks and many times expert impersonators with prosthetic makeup. The 3D face biometrics is sometimes strengthened with the ear, and in many cases, the ear alone is sufficient for the recognition of individuals. The ear is agnostic of expressions and thus easy to recognize but forging a plastic-based ear is also a lot easier than face. 3D ear recognition mitigates the effect to a consider- able extent. 3D vascular biometrics and palm-based biometrics have recently gained steam. Thus in many forms of human biometrics, 3D information is crucial. But the need for sophisticated and expensive hardware components works as a deterrent to its widespread adoption. To record and promote this area of this research we plan to host this special session. We invite practitioners, researchers, and engineers from biometrics, signal processing, computer vision, and machine learning fields to contribute their expertise to uplift the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest include but are not limited to • 3D shape capturing and reconstruction for the human body or body parts from monocular vision • 3D vasculature and palm-based biometrics from monocular vision • 3D ear biometrics from monocular vision • 3D air signature from monocular vision * Passive 3D Gait biometrics-based recognition from monocular vision • 3D face by the monocular vision for biometric application • Emotion and artifact agnostic 3D biometrics by monocular vision • Multimodal sensors for real-time 3D shape capturing • 3D face estimation with high occlusion and monocular camera • 3D information capture under low lighting conditions from the monocular camera • 3D biometrics from short videos • Advancement in inexpensive single-shot sensor technology for 3D biometrics capture Submission Guidelines:  Submit your papers at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IJCB2023 in a special session track.  The paper presented at this session will be published as part of the IJCB2023 and should, therefore, follow the same guideline as the main conference.  Page limit: A paper can be up to 8 pages including figures and tables, plus additional pages for references only.  Papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Please remove author names, affiliations, email addresses, etc. from the paper. Remove personal acknowledgements.

Call for paper IJCB 2023 - Special Session on Recent Advances in Detecting Manipulation Attacks on Biometric Systems (ADMA-2023)

by ABHIJIT DAS

Recent Advances in Detecting Manipulation Attacks on Biometric Systems (ADMA-2023) IJCB 2023 - Special Session Manipulated attacks in biometrics via modified images/videos and other material-based techniques such as presentation attacks and deep fakes have become a tremendous threat to the security world owing to increasingly realistic spoofing methods. Hence, such manipulations have triggered the need for research attention towards robust and reliable methods for detecting biometric manipulation attacks. The recent inclusion of manipulation/generation methods such as auto-encoder and generative adversarial network approaches combined with accurate localisation and perceptual learning objectives added an extra challenge to such manipulation detection tasks. Due to this, the performance of existing state-of-the-art manipulation detection methods significantly degrades in unknown scenarios. Apart from this, real-time processing, manipulation on low-quality medium, limited availability of data, and inclusion of these manipulation detection techniques for forensic investigation are yet to be widely explored. Hence, this special session aims to profile recent developments and push the border of the digital manipulation detection technique on biometric systems. We invite practitioners, researchers and engineers from biometrics, signal processing, material science, mathematics, computer vision and machine learning to contribute their expertise to underpin the highlighted challenges. Further, this special session promotes cross-disciplinary research by inviting the partitioner in the field of psychology where one can perform the human observer (or super-recogniser) analysis to detect attacks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:  Deepfake manipulation and detection technique  Novel generalised PAD to unknown attacks  Image manipulation techniques datasets  Database in image and video manipulation, and attacks  Privacy-preserving techniques in digital manipulation attack detection  Image and video synthesis in PAD  Image and video manipulation generation and detection  Human observer analysis in detecting the manipulated biometric images  Novel sensors for detecting manipulated attacks  Bias analyses and mitigation in attack detection algorithms Submission Guidelines:  Submit your papers at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IJCB2023 in a special session track.  The paper presented at ADMA-2023 will be published as part of the IJCB2023 and should, therefore, follow the same guideline as the main conference.  Page limit: A paper can be up to 8 pages including figures and tables, plus additional pages for references only.  Papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Please remove author names, affiliations, email addresses, etc. from the paper. Remove personal acknowledgements. Important Dates:  Full Paper Submission: July 17, 2023, 23:59:59 PDT  Acceptance Notice: August 17, 2023, 23:59:59 PDT  Camera-Ready Paper: August 21, 2023, 23:59:59 PDT Organizing Committee: Abhijit Das, BITS Pilani, India Raghavendra Ramachandra, NTNU, Norway Meiling Fang, Fraunhofer IGD, Germany

note on bias, ability and the lack of correlation between match and mismatch

by Peter Hancock

Dear colleagues, I've written a short note relating to a simulation I ran to clarify my muddy thinking about the effects of bias (towards match or mismatch) in face matching experiments and the way that principal components analysis separates match and mismatch items into different components. I can't see it making a published paper but I figure others may find it useful, so I've put it up on psyarxiv: https://psyarxiv.com/f2a9j Bottom line: when participants vary in bias and ability independently, PCA tends to separate match and mismatch trials, especially after varimax rotation. The (not very elegant) matlab simulation code is on OSF, linked from the paper. Comments welcome, to me rather than the whole list.
