Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research in the interdisciplinary domains of sensor technologies, intelligent computing, and biometric signal analysis, with a specific focus on the advancement of pattern recognition methodologies. The proliferation of sensor technologies has empowered the acquisition of diverse and intricate biometric signals, opening avenues for innovative approaches to pattern recognition using intelligent computing techniques.

We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners in fields such as computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and artificial intelligence, among others. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel sensor designs, advanced signal processing algorithms, machine learning applications, and the integration of intelligent computing paradigms for biometric signal analysis and pattern recognition.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following methods:

  • Sensor and sensing technologies for biometrics;
  • Face, fingerprint, hand, iris, brain, and other emerging biometrics;
  • Behavioral and physiological signal-based biometrics;
  • Multimodal biometrics;
  • IoT and wearable Sensors;
  • Biometric data/signal analysis;
  • Computational methods in feature extraction and recognition;
  • Machine learning for biometrics;
  • Deepfake and Anti-Deepfake methods;
  • Privacy and security.

In modern society, the popularity of wearable devices has highlighted the need for data security. Bio-crypto keys (bio-keys), especially in the context of wearable devices, are gaining attention as a next-generation security method. Despite the theoretical advantages of bio-keys, implementing such systems poses practical challenges due to their need for flexibility and convenience. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) have emerged as a potential solution to these issues but face hurdles due to intra-individual variability. This study aims to evaluate the possibility of a stable, flexible, and convenient-to-use bio-key using ECGs. We propose an approach that minimizes biosignal variability using normalization, clustering-based binarization, and the fuzzy extractor, enabling the generation of personalized seeds and offering ease of use. The proposed method achieved a maximum entropy of 0.99 and an authentication accuracy of 95%. This study evaluated various parameter combinations for generating effective bio-keys for personal authentication and proposed the optimal combination. Our research holds potential for security technologies applicable to wearable devices and healthcare systems. Full article
