Maria De Marsico
Sapienza Università di Roma
Italy
 
Brief Bio
Maria De Marsico is Full Professor at Sapienza University of Rome, Department of Computer Science. She graduated in Computer Science at University of Salerno. Her research interests concern the study of biometric systems (face, iris, gait, multi-biometric systems), pattern recognition, image processing, and human-machine interaction, in particular, issues of accessibility, emotion recognition, and biometric interaction. She is Editor in Chief for Special Issues of Pattern Recognition Letters, Associate Editor of Pattern Recognition, Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Biometrics, Behavior, and Identity Science, and has been guest editor of several Special Issues of high-ranked journals. Maria has been member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Biometrics Compendium and Editor in Chief of IEEE Biometrics Council Newsletter. She has been co-editor with Michele Nappi (University of Salerno) and Massimo Tistarelli (University of Sassari) of the book "Face recognition in adverse conditions" published by IGI Global, and with Michele Nappi (University of Salerno) Hugo Proença (University of Beira Interior) of the book “Human Recognition in Outdoor Unconstrained Environments - Using Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning Methods for Biometrics” edited by Elsevier – Academic Press. She is Program co-Chair of the International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods - ICPRAM since 2013. Maria is Member of IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), CVPL ( former GIRPR - Italian Group of Researchers in Pattern Recognition), and EAB (European Association for Biometrics).

SCOPE

Biometrics is nowadays an application area which attracts continuously growing interest from both the academy, and from the industry, the government, and the general public, due to the criticality and the social impact of its applications. The increasing needs for security as well as service personalization make biometrics more and more valuable world-wide, both as theory, technologies, design methodologies, and applications are concerned. Despite being a quite narrow scientific and technological field, biometrics is highly interdisciplinary since encompasses various aspects in different disciplines (e.g., physiology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, chemistry, physics, material sciences, computer science, computer engineering, electronics, system automation, telecommunications, and economics). Inter-disciplinarity is a key aspect of this area. A biometric system design needs a well-integrated set of techniques: from sensing to measurement procedures, signal analysis and feature extraction, to classification and algorithms, and also to privacy, social implications, and much more. Integration and cooperative combination are another key aspects if biometric systems and applications.

Topics of Interest
Relevant topics include, but not be limited to, the following list:

  • Biometrics sensing systems
  • Multi-sensor multi-modal analysis, fusion and features extraction for biometrics systems applications
  • Integration and interoperability in biometrics systems
  • Reliability, availability and dependability of biometrics systems
  • Human factors in biometrics systems
  • 3-D biometrics
  • Biometric liveness
  • Privacy, anonymity and security in biometrics systems
  • Adaptable biometrics systems
  • Biometrics systems for authentication and security
  • Biometrics systems for service personalization and ambient intelligence
