Human Recognition in Unconstrained Environments provides a unique picture of the complete 'in-the-wild' biometric recognition processing chain; from data acquisition through to detection, segmentation, encoding, and matching reactions against security incidents.

Coverage includes:

- Data hardware architecture fundamentals
- Background subtraction of humans in outdoor scenes

- Camera synchronization
- Biometric traits: Real-time detection and data segmentation
- Biometric traits: Feature encoding / matching

- Fusion at different levels
- Reaction against security incidents
- Ethical issues in non-cooperative biometric recognition in public spaces

With this book readers will learn how to:

- Use computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning methods for biometric recognition in real-world, real-time settings, especially those related to forensics and security
- Choose the most suited biometric traits and recognition methods for uncontrolled settings
- Evaluate the performance of a biometric system on real world data
