Biometrics and human biometric characteristics form the basis of research in biological measuring techniques for the purpose of people identification and recognition. IJBM addresses the fundamental and emerging areas in computer science that deal with biological measurements. It covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of human identification and verification.
Topics covered include
- Age and gender recognition
- Anthropology/physical anthropology
- Audio-visual
- DNA, genetic inheritance
- Ear, face and iris recognition, retina
- Emotion detection
- Facial thermograms
- Fingerprints and palm prints
- Gait recognition
- Hand geometry, hand veins
- Kansei engineering
- Keystroke dynamics and mouse gestures
- Odour and taste
- Signature
- Voice
Objectives
The key objective of IJBM is to provide the academic community with an international forum in the field of human authentication and people identity verification from both physiological and behavioural points of view. It aims to publish new insights into current and emerging innovations in computer systems and technology for biometrics development and its applications.
Readership
IJBM provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers, working in the field biometrics to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
Contents
IJBM publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in biometrics will occasionally be published, particularly as post-conference issues. Such issues will contain extended versions of selected papers presented at international conferences on biometrics.

A leap towards an emotion detector
5 September, 2024
Research in the International Journal of Biometrics introduces a method to improve the accuracy and speed of dynamic emotion recognition using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyse faces. The work undertaken by Lanbo Xu of Northeastern University in Shenyang, China, could have applications mental health, human-computer interaction, security, and other areas. Facial expressions are a major part of non-verbal communication, providing clues about an individual's emotional state. Until now, emotion recognition systems have used static images, which means they cannot capture the changing nature of emotions as they play out over a person's face during a conversation, interview or other interaction. Xu's work addresses this by focusing on video sequences. The system can track changing facial expressions over a series of video frames and then offer a detailed analysis of how a person's emotions unfold in real time [...]
