Biometric Data Analysis

Abstract

Biometric data is everywhere with fast development of mobile and wearable devices, social media, surveillance networks and identification systems. Biometric data analysis can obtain a wide variety of information including identity, gender, ethnicity, age and affect from biometric data. This talk will present a review of main approaches for biometric data analysis. However, there are still many open problems in biometric data analysis. Compared with biometric identification, there is relatively less research on demographic and affective information prediction from biometric data.

He is Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, International Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering, Fellow of The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of sciences in developing countries (TWAS), Corresponding Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, and Fellow of the IEEE and IAPR (International Association for Pattern Recognition).

TAN received his BSc in electronic engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University, China in 1984, and his MSc and PhD degrees in electronic engineering from Imperial College London, UK in 1986 and 1989 respectively.

In October 1989, he joined the Department of Computer Science, The University of Reading, U.K., where he worked as Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow and Lecturer. In January 1998, he returned to China to join the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition (NLPR), CAS Institute of Automation as a full professor. He was the Director General of the Institute from 2000-2007, Director of the NLPR from 1998-2013 and Deputy Secretary-General of the Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2007-2015. He is currently Director of the Center for Research on Intelligent Perception and Computing at the Institute of Automation. He has published more than 500 research papers in refereed international journals and conferences in the areas of image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition, and has authored or edited 11 books. He holds more than 70 patents. His current research interests include biometrics, image and video understanding, and information forensics and security.
