NIS03-4: Implementing Biometrics-Based Authentication for Mobile Devices

This paper presents a face recognition system for mobile devices running the Symbian operating system. The recognition algorithm is based on a one-class classification approach implemented by means of support vector machines. It discusses important aspects related to the practical implementation of the algorithm on Symbian 60 Series mobile phones, and gives some preliminary results outlining the performances achieved by the recognition system with several different configurations.
