For the last ten years, face biometric research has been intensively studied by the computer vision community. Face recognition systems have been used in mobile, banking, and surveillance systems. For face recognition systems, face spoofing attack detection is a crucial stage that could cause severe security issues in government sectors. Although effective methods for face presentation attack detection have been proposed so far, the problem is still unsolved due to the difficulty in the design of features and methods that can work for new spoofing attacks. In addition, existing datasets...

Das vorliegende Buch gibt eine Einfuhrung in die klassische Integralgeometrie und ihre praktischen Anwendungen in der Stereologie und der Bildrekonstruktion. Daher wird vor allem die elementare zweidimensionale Integralgeometrie und ihre praktisch bedeutsame Verallgemeinerung auf den dreidimensionalen Fall vorgestellt. Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte sind: Grundlagen der Konvexgeometrie, Integralgeometrie und Radon-Transformation. Zahlreiche anschauliche Beispiele und Anwendungen zeigen die grundlegende Bedeutung des Gebietes fur Bildauswertungen in der Biologie, Medizin, Petrographie und...

Since the 1960s, a significant effort has been underway to program computers to -see- the human face--to develop automated systems for identifying faces and distinguishing them from one another--commonly known as Facial Recognition Technology. While computer scientists are developing FRT in order to design more intelligent and interactive machines, businesses and states agencies view the technology as uniquely suited for -smart- surveillance--systems that automate the labor of monitoring in order to increase their efficacy and spread their reach.

Tracking this technological pursuit,...
