The development of technologies for the identi?cation of
individuals has driven the interest and curiosity of many people.
Spearheaded and inspired by the Bertillon coding system for the
classi?cation of humans based on physical measurements, scientists
and engineers have been trying to invent new devices and
classi?cation systems to capture the human identity from its body
measurements. One of the main limitations of the precursors of
today's biometrics, which is still present in the vast majority of
the existing biometric systems, has been the need to keep the
device in close contact with the subject to capture the biometric
measurements. This clearly limits the applicability and convenience
of biometric systems. This book presents an important step in
addressing this limitation by describing a number of methodologies
to capture meaningful biometric information from a distance. Most
materials covered in this book have been presented at the
International Summer School on Biometrics which is held every year
in Alghero, Italy and which has become a ?agship activity of the
IAPR Technical Committee on Biometrics (IAPR TC4). The last four
chapters of the book are derived from some of the best p-
sentations by the participating students of the school. The
educational value of this book is also highlighted by the number of
proposed exercises and questions which will help the reader to
better understand the proposed topics.
