Advanced Medical Biometrics

By Chaoxun Guo, David Zhang, Bob Zhang

In brief, this book provides the advanced sensing technologies including multi-sensor collaborative sensing for pulse signal acquisition, sensor array design for breath odor perception, and voice signal acquisition. Besides, this book summarizes the advances about pulse feature extraction with improved Gabor function, odor feature extraction based on de-convolution methods. This book also presents the latest recognition methods including evolutionary ensemble model to handle the imbalance problem, multi-feature complementary methods for face image, tongue images, and pulse analysis. Multi-modal hybrid fusion and self-adaptive score fusion for disease classification are proposed and proved effective for medical biometrics.Medical biometrics achieves disease detection and health monitor by sensing and recognizing multi-modal body surface information. It is believed that body surface information, e.g., face, tongue, breath odor, voice, and wrist pulse, is one of the most important biometric features that contains rich pathological information and can be used for health assessments or disease detection. Focusing on the latest progresses in medical biometrics, this book systematically presents advanced signal acquisition techniques, feature extraction methods, and recognition algorithms.Both researchers and engineers in pattern recognition and medical diagnosis will benefit from this book as it offers comprehensive understanding of the advanced signal acquisition techniques, related feature extraction methods, and state-of-the-art analysis methods.
