Lenovo's Veriface face recognition software will give you unprecedented security. It is pretty cool IMO. Basically you have to stick your face in front of the camera about 1ft away for a second or two to login. works on non lenovo ver.

Machine-based Intelligent Face Recognition discusses the general engineering method of imitating intelligent human brains for video-based face recognition in a fundamental way, which is completely unsupervised, automatic, self-learning, self-updated and robust. It also overviews state-of-the-art research on cognitive-based biometrics and machine-based biometrics, and especially the advances in face recognition. This book is intended for scientists, researchers, engineers, and students in the field of computer vision, machine intelligence, and particularly of face recognition. Dr. Dengpan Mou, Dr.-Ing. and MSc from University of Ulm, Germany, is with Harman/Becker Automotive Systems GmbH, working on video processing, computer vision and machine learning research and development topics.

Mobile Intention Recognition addresses problems of practical relevance for mobile system engineers: how can we make mobile assistance systems more intelligent? How can we model and recognize patterns of human behavior which span more than a limited spatial context? This text provides an overview on plan and intention recognition, ranging from the late 1970s to very recent approaches. This overview is unique as it discusses approaches with respect to the specificities of mobile intention recognition. This book covers problems from research on mobile assistance systems using methods from artificial intelligence and natural language processing. It thus addresses an extraordinary interdisciplinary audience.

As one of the most promising biometric technologies, vein pattern recognition (VPR) is quickly taking root around the world and may soon dominate applications where people focus is key. Among the reasons for VPR’s growing acceptance and use: it is more accurate than many other biometric methods, it offers greater resistance to spoofing, it focuses on people and their privacy, and has few negative cultural connotations. Vein Pattern Recognition: A Privacy-Enhancing Biometric provides a comprehensive and practical look at biometrics in general and at vein pattern recognition specifically. It discusses the emergence of this reliable but underutilized technology and evaluates its capabilities and benefits.

This book comprises selected papers of the International Conference on Signal Processing, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, SIP 2011, held as Part of the Future Generation Information Technology Conference, FGIT 2011, in Conjunction with GDC 2011, in Conjunction with GDC 2011, Jeju Island, Korea, in December 2011. The papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and focus on the various aspects of signal processing, image processing and pattern recognition.
