Deadline extened to 31/7: Call for paper IJCB 2023 – Special Session on 3D Biometrics with Monocular Vision
July 18th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise mostly. Though face biometrics is one of the most used forms after fingerprint right now, it is also open to many kinds of presentation attack instruments. Presentation attack instruments are mainly videos, photographs or masks and many times expert impersonators with prosthetic makeup. The 3D face biometrics is sometimes strengthened with the ear, and in many cases, the ear alone is sufficient for the recognition of individuals. The ear is agnostic of expressions and thus easy to recognize but forging a plastic-based ear is also a lot easier than face. 3D ear recognition mitigates the effect to a consider-
able extent. 3D vascular biometrics and palm-based biometrics have recently gained steam. Thus in many forms of human biometrics, 3D information is crucial. But the need for sophisticated and expensive hardware components works as a deterrent to its widespread adoption. To record and promote this area of this research we plan to host this special session. We invite practitioners, researchers, and engineers from biometrics, signal processing, computer vision, and machine learning fields to contribute their expertise to uplift the state-of-the-art.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to
• 3D shape capturing and reconstruction for the human body or body parts from monocular vision
• 3D vasculature and palm-based biometrics from monocular vision
• 3D ear biometrics from monocular vision
• 3D air signature from monocular vision
* Passive 3D Gait biometrics-based recognition from monocular vision
• 3D face by the monocular vision for biometric application
• Emotion and artifact agnostic 3D biometrics by monocular vision
• Multimodal sensors for real-time 3D shape capturing
• 3D face estimation with high occlusion and monocular camera
• 3D information capture under low lighting conditions from the monocular camera
• 3D biometrics from short videos
• Advancement in inexpensive single-shot sensor technology for 3D biometrics capture
Submission Guidelines:
Submit your papers at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IJCB2023 in a special session track.
The paper presented at this session will be published as part of the IJCB2023 and should, therefore, follow the same guideline as the main conference.
Page limit: A paper can be up to 8 pages including figures and tables, plus additional pages for references only.
Papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Please remove author names, affiliations, email addresses, etc. from the paper. Remove personal acknowledgements.

Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organisation or industry processes over a few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyse and process data more efficiently, where Data analytics can reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. Data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every activity in our life. Thus, studying data and its underlying structure, dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies is a never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are enormous; they do not sufficiently solve the data processing requirements.
Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop models and systems to analyse voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from data analysis can enable the production of critical information for several domains.
Hence this conference reviews and discusses the recent trends, opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted organizations to create successful business and technology strategies and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights the current open research directions of data analytics that require further consideration.
The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to
Data applications in various domains and activities
Data in cloud
Real-world data processing
Data inaccuracy and reliability issues
Data Ecosystem
Business Analytics
New data analytics techniques
Physical and management challenges
Privacy and Security
Crowdsourcing and Sensing
Data modelling
Deep learning techniques
Data fusion
Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics
Machine learning
Network optimization
Data in Biomedical Engineering
Data in Materials science and mechanics
Data handling and applications in domains
Wireless Networking Data Management
Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems
Multi-media Systems Data
Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data
E-Computing Data
Renewable Energies Data
Publications
The IEEE Xplore will publish the DDP papers. Besides modified versions of the papers will appear in the following journals.
1. Journal on Data Semantics
2. Technologies
3. Data Technologies and Applications
4. Journal of Digital Information Management
5. International Journal of Computational Linguistics
6. Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering

IJCB 2023 Demos and Exhibitions Call
July 18th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise https://ijcb2023.ieee-biometrics.org/call-for-demos-and-exhibitions/
IJCB 2023 will host demos and exhibitions session to provide to participant researchers the opportunity to showcase live demonstrations of their contributions in the area of biometrics. The demonstrations are intended to display, in an interactive setting, new methods and technologies, system prototypes, and experimental features of mature systems.
Demonstrations from the academia, industry and government are welcome. The demonstrations are not limited to papers being presented at the IJCB 2023 conference. We also welcome biometrics-related work that was published at other premier computer vision conferences. The primary requirement is that the topic of the demo falls within the broad context of detection and recognition of standard biometrics (e.g. face, iris, fingerprints) or novel biometrics modalities.
Important points:
Kindly note that the display and marketing of commercial products must be arranged as part of the sponsor/exhibition program. Demos on the other hand are free of charge.
For further information about demos and exhibitions please contact the co-chairs.
***Award for the Best Demo***
If you are selected to be a demo participant, a voting process (for the best participant) will take place on the day of your demonstration. The quality of the demo capabilities as well as the quality of the presentation will be considered toward the selection of the best participants. The winners will be announced at the IJCB 2023 conference gala dinner.
