Second International Conference on

AUDIO- AND VIDEO-BASED BIOMETRIC PERSON AUTHENTICATION

Washington D.C., USA
March 22-23, 1999

This is the second conference on the topic of audio- and video-based
techniques for the representation and recognition of humans. The first
conference was held in Crans Montana, Switzerland in March 1996 and
attracted more than 150 participants from countries in Europe,
Asia and North America. The Second International Conference on Audio- and
Video-based Biometric Person Authentication (AVBPA) will bring together
the speech and face recognition researchers in an attempt to discuss
ongoing research on these challenging problems.

forms, please see:
