Generally speaking, Biosignals refer to signals recorded from the
human body. They can be either electrical (e. g. Electrocardiogram
(ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electromyogram (EMG), etc. ) or
non-electrical (e. g. breathing, movements, etc. ). The acquisition
and processing of such signals play an important role in clinical
routines. They are usually considered as major indicators which
provide clinicians and physicians with useful information during
diagnostic and monitoring processes. In some applications, the
purpose is not necessarily medical. It may also be industrial. For
instance, a real-time EEG system analysis can be used to control
and analyze the vigilance of a car driver. In this case, the
purpose of such a system basically consists of preventing crash
risks. Furthermore, in certain other appli- tions, asetof
biosignals (e. g. ECG, respiratorysignal, EEG, etc. ) can be used
toc- trol or analyze human emotions. This is the case of the famous
polygraph system, also known as the "lie detector," the ef ciency
of which remains open to debate Thus when one is dealing with
biosignals, special attention must be given to their acquisition,
their analysis and their processing capabilities which constitute
the nal stage preceding the clinical diagnosis. Naturally, the
diagnosis is based on the information provided by the processing
system.
This book addresses biometrics from a biomedical engineering point
of view. Divided into five sections, it discusses topics including
the influence of pathologies on various biometric modalities (e.g.
face, iris, fingerprint), medical and security biometrics,
behavioural biometrics, instrumentation, wearable technologies and
imaging. The final chapters also present a number of case studies.
The book is suitable for advanced graduate and postgraduate
students, engineers and researchers, especially those in signal and
image processing, biometrics, and biomedical engineering.
This book explores intrinsic and human body part biometrics and
biometrics of human physiological activities, invisible to the
naked eye. This includes, for instance, brain structures, skeleton
morphology, heart activity, etc. These human body parts can only be
visualized using specific imaging techniques or sensors, commonly
employed in the biomedical engineering field. As such, the book
connects two fields, namely biometric security and biomedical
engineering. The book is suitable for advanced graduate and
postgraduate students, engineers and researchers, especially in
Signal and Image Processing, Biometrics, and Biomedical
Engineering.
