Bio:

Professor Patrick S.P. Wang, PhD., IAPR Fellow, ISIBM Fellow, and IEEE Outstanding
Achievement Awardee, is a Tenured Full Professor at Northeastern University, Boston, USA, the Visiting Chair Professor
at NTUST, Taipei, Taiwan and the Zijiang Visiting Chair Professor at ECNU, Shanghai, China. He has also been the
iCORE (Informatics Circle of Research Excellence) Visiting Professor at the University of Calgary, Canada, the
Otto-Von-Guericke Distinguished Guest Professor at Magdeburg University, Germany. He served as an Honorary
Advisory Professor for several universities in China, including Sichuan University, Xiamen University, East China
Normal University, Shanghai, and Guangxi Normal University, Guilin. Prof. Wang received his BSEE from National Chiao
Tung University (Jiaotong University), MSEE from National Taiwan University, MSICS from Georgia Institute of
Technology, and PhD Computer Science from Oregon State University.
 
Dr. Wang has published over 25 books, 150 technical papers, holds 3 US/European Patents, in PR/AI/TV/Cybernetics/Imaging/Biometrics, and is currently the founding Editor-in-Chief of IJPRAI (International Journal
of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence) and book series of MPAI, WSP. One of his books, Image
Pattern Recognition: Synthesis and Analysis in Biometrics, is so widely cited that it is being used for reference by the
USA Department of Homeland Security for "Security Synthetic Biometrics," 2010 grant proposal solicitation
(DHS(S&T)SBIR FY-10.1H-SB010.1005). Beyond his technical interests, Dr. Wang also published a prose book,
Harvard Meditation Melody (哈佛冥想曲）along with many articles and poems regarding Du Fu and Li Bai’s poems,
Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart and Tchaikovsky’s symphonies, and Bizet, Verdi, Puccini and Rossini’s operas.
 

Abstract:

This keynote presentation discusses the fundamentals of Intelligent Pattern Recognition (IPR) and its applications
in Biometrics. IPR utilizes artificial intelligence in pattern recognition. Biometrics refers to computer emulation of human
body behavior; it includes synthesis, analysis and recognition of faces, emotions, fingerprints, handwriting,
signatures, voices, speech, irises, palms, gestures, postures, attitudes, and body languages. It can be applied to
many aspects of daily life, including personal identification and verification.

The topics of this presentation will include the following:
- Overview of 3D Biometric Technology and Applications
- Importance of Security: a Scenario of Terrorists Attack
- Biometrics: Analysis vs. Synthesis
- Analysis: Interactive Pattern Recognition and the Importance of Measurements
- Methods: Fingerprint Extraction and Matching, Iris and Facial Analysis, Authentication, Thermal Imaging, and
  Emotion Recognition
- Synthesis: Modeling and Simulation
- Applications of 3D Biomedical Imaging in Interactive Web/Video Networking Fuzzy Learning Environment.
- Discussions, Open Problems, Future Research and Directions
