Journal Title：Iet Biometrics

The field of biometric recognition - automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioural and biological characteristics - has now reached a level of maturity where viable practical applications are both possible and increasingly available. The biometrics field is characterised especially by its interdisciplinarity since, while focused primarily around a strong technological base, effective system design and implementation often requires a broad range of skills encompassing, for example, human factors, data security and database technologies, psychological and physiological awareness, and so on. Also, the technology focus itself embraces diversity, since the engineering of effective biometric systems requires integration of image analysis, pattern recognition, sensor technology, database engineering, security design and many other strands of understanding.

The scope of the journal is intentionally relatively wide. While focusing on core technological issues, it is recognised that these may be inherently diverse and in many cases may cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. The scope of the journal will therefore include any topics where it can be shown that a paper can increase our understanding of biometric systems, signal future developments and applications for biometrics, or promote greater practical uptake for relevant technologies:

Development and enhancement of individual biometric modalities including the established and traditional modalities (e.g. face, fingerprint, iris, signature and handwriting recognition) and also newer or emerging modalities (gait, ear-shape, neurological patterns, etc.)

Multibiometrics, theoretical and practical issues, implementation of practical systems, multiclassifier and multimodal approaches

Soft biometrics and information fusion for identification, verification and trait prediction

Human factors and the human-computer interface issues for biometric systems, exception handling strategies

Template construction and template management, ageing factors and their impact on biometric systems

Usability and user-oriented design, psychological and physiological principles and system integration

Database technologies to support biometric systems

Implementation of biometric systems, security engineering implications, smartcard and associated technologies in implementation, implementation platforms, system design and performance evaluation

Trust and privacy issues, security of biometric systems and supporting technological solutions, biometric template protection

Biometric cryptosystems, security and biometrics-linked encryption

Links with forensic processing and cross-disciplinary commonalities

Core underpinning technologies (e.g. image analysis, pattern recognition, computer vision, signal processing, etc.), where the specific relevance to biometric processing can be demonstrated

Applications and application-led considerations

Position papers on technology or on the industrial context of biometric system development

Adoption and promotion of standards in biometrics, improving technology acceptance, deployment and interoperability, avoiding cross-cultural and cross-sector restrictions

生物特征識別領域（基于個人的行為和生物特征自動識別個人）現已達到成熟水平，可行的實際應用不僅可能而且越來越可用。生物特征識別領域的特點是其跨學科性，因為雖然主要關注強大的技術基礎，但有效的系統設計和實施通常需要廣泛的技能，例如人為因素、數據安全和數據庫技術、心理和生理意識等。此外，技術重點本身包含多樣性，因為有效的生物特征識別系統的工程需要整合圖像分析、模式識別、傳感器技術、數據庫工程、安全設計和許多其他理解。

該期刊的范圍故意相對較廣。雖然重點關注核心技術問題，但人們認識到這些問題可能本質上是多樣化的，在許多情況下可能跨越傳統的學科界限。因此，該期刊的范圍將包括任何可以證明論文可以增加我們對生物識別系統的理解、預示生物識別未來發展和應用或促進相關技術更廣泛實際應用的主題：

開發和增強單個生物識別模式，包括既定和傳統模式（例如面部、指紋、虹膜、簽名和手寫識別）以及較新或新興的模式（步態、耳朵形狀、神經模式等）

多生物識別、理論和實踐問題、實用系統的實施、多分類器和多模式方法
