Age Estimation Using Sound Stimulation as a Hidden Biometrics Approach

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Hidden Biometrics

Part of the book series: Series in BioEngineering ((SERBIOENG))

Abstract

In this chapter, it will be introduced a new hidden biometrics approach of age estimation requiring the stimulation of the auditory system by an acoustical modulated sine wave signal. After a quick review on different common approaches used in the field of age estimation, and after presenting some generalities on the auditory system, age estimation and age classification protocols will be considered. This chapter describes also the concept of a simple identification/verification, as an application.
