The challenges of generalization of algorithms and solutions in biometrics has been a long-standing but critical problem. The advancements in biometric solutions have achieved very high accuracy for various problems on databases investigated for the relative problem. However, the recent works have pointed the deficiencies in scaling of such algorithms across databases and sensors. The problem is persistently seen for identification and verification across cross-spectral data, attack detection across variety of data. The limited scalability of the algorithms needs newer and robust solutions to make the biometric systems adaptable for various kind of data. BTAS-2019 - Special session on Generalizability and Adaptability in Biometrics is organized to evaluate the impact and mitigation measures of such generalization problems in biometric systems. This half-day Special Session in conjunction with BTAS-2019, calls for high-quality, previously unpublished works related to approaches and methodologies.
