This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Chinese Conference on Biometric Recognition, CCBR 2013, held in Jinan, China, in November 2013. The 57 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from among 100 submissions. The papers address the problems in face, fingerprint, palmprint, vein biometrics, iris and ocular biometrics, behavioral biometrics and other related topics, and contribute new ideas to research and development of reliable and practical solutions for biometric authentication.
