This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Audio- and Video-Based Biometric Person Authentication, AVBPA 2005, held in Hilton Rye Town, NY, USA, in July 2005. The 66 revised oral papers and 50 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers discuss all aspects of biometrics including iris, fingerprint, face, palm print, gait, gesture, speaker, and signature; theoretical and algorithmic issues are dealt with as well as systems issues. The industrial side of biometrics is evident from presentations on smart cards, wireless devices, and architectural and implementation aspects.

Die historische Spannbreite der hier editerten Vorträge reicht von der Theorie der politischen Revolution bei Aristoteles bis hin zur Frage, unter welcher Perspektive man die G20-Krawalle 2017 in Hamburg als revolutionär betrachten kann. Die Autorinnen gehen keineswegs von einer gemeinsamen theoretischen Linie oder einem gemeinsamen politischen Standpunkt aus. Gemeinsam ist den Vorträgen aber die Neugier danach zu suchen, welche Rolle die Idee der Revolution heute noch spielt, die bis in die 1960er Jahre hinein viele faszinierte und beseelte, sei es bei revolutionär Engagierten oder anderweitig Aktiven. Dabei werden auch unterschiedliche Blickwinkel auf einige historische Ereignisse geworfen, die bis heute das Denken über Revolution prägen. Sowenig dürfen Überlegungen zu den neuesten technologischen Entwicklungen fehlen, die z.B. die Revolutionen in Arabien beflügelten. Und natürlich stellt sich immer wieder die Frage, wohin die revolutionäre Reise geht oder ob die Epoche der Revolution beendet ist.

What is an Illusion? When you see a wet surface on the road at a distance on a hot afternoon, you know that it is an illusion. When a magician cuts a girl in half during a magic show, you know that it is an illusion. The illusion is a perception different from reality. The perception could be of the senses such as vision, sound, taste, touch, smell or of the ideas of the mind. The concept of a unicorn, Santa Claus or an ideal human being are illusory ideas of the mind.The nature of the world is illusory. Everything from a particle of sand to the biggest planet is an illusion. Every idea about our world and how it operates is an illusion too. Our ideas about purpose of life, existence of God, ideas of right and wrong and countless other things are all based on our ignorance about the nature of our universe.This book explores on every little myth we have created about our existence and tries to allow the most intelligent species on the earth, the humans, to come out of their delusional state of mind. Only when we are made aware of the fact that we are asleep, can we try to wake up in the world of reality. In the same way, unless we have understood the illusory nature of the universe, we cannot think of breaking the conditioning of our minds.Everything that we know about our world is illusory including the objects, living beings, our personalities, our separation, individuality, our social values and morality. Our ideas about knowledge, intelligence, time, space and duality are illusory too. It is time that we start looking at our world with a sincere attention and figure out the real nature of our existence as a sentient entity in this world of illusion, known as Maya.

Biometrics: Personal Identification in Networked Society is a comprehensive and accessible source of state-of-the-art information on all existing and emerging biometrics: the science of automatically identifying individuals based on their physiological or behavior characteristics. In particular, the book covers: *General principles and ideas of designing biometric-based systems and their underlying tradeoffs *Identification of important issues in the evaluation of biometrics-based systems *Integration of biometric cues, and the integration of biometrics with other existing technologies *Assessment of the capabilities and limitations of different biometrics *The comprehensive examination of biometric methods in commercial use and in research development *Exploration of some of the numerous privacy and security implications of biometrics. Also included are chapters on face and eye identification, speaker recognition, networking, and other timely technology-related issues. All chapters are written by leading internationally recognized experts from academia and industry. Biometrics: Personal Identification in Networked Society is an invaluable work for scientists, engineers, application developers, systems integrators, and others working in biometrics.
