Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

Various imaging and sensors technologies for biometrics systems have long been regarded as challenging topics when it comes to providing the ability to identify individuals based on their characteristics. However, research to quantitatively recognize and authenticate the many human biometric features through the development of the 4th industrial revolution technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Blockchain, etc. have only recently seen rapid progress.

Recent studies on “biometric systems” have been actively carried out to quantitatively recognize human biometric and sense it as a multimodal parameters such as images, sounds, and voices to provide adequate applications. As these studies have been ongoing over several decades, there has been a paradigm shift from a system that requires an artificial intelligent sensor, deep-learning-based imaging systems, and blockchain-based authentication. In addition, multimodal biometric approaches to recognize and authenticate human biometrics can be found by analyzing factors that may affect biometric systems in the environment. Within this framework, I am pleased to serve as Guest Editor of this Special Issue on “Imaging and Sensing of Biometric Systems”. For this Special Issue, research regarding imaging and sensor applications on biometrics while considering applicable technology of imaging and sensors for biometric systems is of interest. Of particular interest is research that can break away from traditional sensor technology that brings obstacles of technologies, and research that instead solves the challengeable research issues of biometric systems through novel sensor-based solutions.

It is empirically known that mood changes affect facial expressions and voices. In this study, the authors have focused on the voice to develop a method for estimating depression in individuals from their voices. A short input voice is ideal for applying the proposed method to a wide range of applications. Therefore, we evaluated this method using multiple input utterances while assuming a unit utterance input. The experimental results revealed that depressive states could be estimated with sufficient accuracy using the smallest number of utterances when positive utterances were included in three to four input utterances.
