IWBF is an international forum devoted to facilitating synergies in research and development among the areas of multimedia forensics, forensic biometrics, and forensic science. State-of-theart research in areas such as biometrics, forensic science, surveillance, and multimedia forensics will be presented.
The 13th edition of IWBF will be a meeting place for those concerned with the use of advanced biometric technologies in forensic applications, attracting participants from industry, research, academia, and end-users.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Biometrics
• Attacks to biometric recognition systems
• Multimodal biometrics
• Soft biometrics
• Mobile biometrics
• Biometric analysis of crime scenes
• Forensic Science
• Multimedia forensics
