Mobile biometrics is an emerging research area with some unique capabilities compared to the traditional biometrics. One aim of this book is to provide some unique views and experience from industrial partners. Their experience in developing mobile sensors or devices, algorithms, and systems could be useful and valuable to academic researchers. The angle from industry to view mobile biometrics may be different from academia, but the rich information and unique experience from industrial experts could inspire academic researchers greatly with some fresh ideas. In this book, there are five chapters from the industry experts, about one-third of the whole book. Progress can also be made faster in industrial mobile biometrics product development, given that important challenges and relevant issues are addressed by the academic researchers in a timely manner.
