Special Issue Information
In addition to computing power and improved sensors capable of capturing novel
biological signals such as heartbeat and brain waves via EEG or EKG,
behavioral analysis and activity recognition are increasingly being used for a
variety of purposes from healthcare to law enforcement. An important trend is
the development of multimodal biometrics and the increasing use of biometrics,
focusing on various behavioral patterns. In addition to traditional biometric
methods such as face recognition, biometric methods also include gesture
dynamics, gait features, and behavioral characteristics, as long as the
behavior is analyzed to determine the genetic, physical, physiological,
behavioral or emotional nature characterizing a specific individual.
This special issue focuses on new biometric modalities and recent developments
in behavioral biometrics that rely on specific data technologies related to
the physical, physiological, or behavioral aspects of the human body
(including when in motion). Its purpose is to highlight recent advances in the
development of human authentication technologies and the categorization of
humans based on physiological characteristics (including predicting future
behavior).
Topics to be covered including, but not limited to:
Machine learning for biometrics
Machine learning for behavioral recognition
Biometric Fusion framework
A comparative study of the existing learning approaches of Behavioral
Biometric Datasets
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and
logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the
submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All
submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be
published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed
together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as
well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and
short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for
announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings
papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-
review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for
submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal
published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript.
The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access
journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted
and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to
publication or during author revisions.

European Machine Vision Forum taking place 27 – 28 October 2022 in Cork Ireland.
June 2nd, 2022 
Daniela Lopez de Luise The forum aims to foster interaction between the machine vision industry and academic research to learn from each other, discuss the newest research results as well as problems from applications, learn about emerging application fields, and to discuss research cooperation between industry and academic institutes. The overall goal is to accelerate innovation by translating new research results faster into practice.
The forum is directed to scientists, development engineers, software and hardware engineers, and programmers both from research and Industry.
Companies, institutes and universities are invited to submit their valuable contribution to this focal topic. Submit your extended abstract for a contributed talk or poster no later than June 30th, 2022.
All submissions are openly reviewed by the joint Scientific and Industrial Advisory Board of the forum.

Call for papers — extended deadline
June 2nd, 2022 Daniela Lopez de Luise Call for workshop proposals
June 2nd, 2022 Daniela Lopez de Luise https://hal.cse.msu.edu/fg2023/
We invite workshop proposals for the 2023 IEEE Conference on Automatic
Face and Gesture Recognition (FG2023) in Waikoloa, Hawaii. Accepted
workshops will be held on either 4 January or 5 January 2023, in the
same venue as the FG 2023 main conference.
Complementary to the main venue, we especially encourage workshop
proposals relating to emerging new fields or new application domains of
face and gesture analysis and synthesis.
*** Submission Procedure ***
Workshop proposals should include the following information:
+ Workshop title.
+ Workshop motivation, expected outcomes, and impact.
+ List of organizers including affiliation, email address, and a short bio.
+ Tentative length of the workshop (half-day or full-day).
+ Tentative paper submission and review schedule.
+ Planned advertisement means, website hosting.
+ Paper submission procedure (submission via the website, via email,
etc.) if applicable.
+ Paper review procedure (single/double-blind, internal/external,
solicited/invited-only, the pool of reviewers, etc.).
+ Tentative program committee, and invited speakers, if any.
+ Estimated number of submissions and acceptance rate.
Proposals should be submitted through CMT:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FGWT2023
