Planning Activity for The Center for Identification Technology Research

自动生物特征识别系统测量来自人体或环境的生理、行为或生物“特征”，处理和识别可分类的信号分量，然后基于给定应用的参数做出识别决策。有效地解决从生命科学到计算科学所需的生物识别系统研究的广度是行业和政府面临的重大挑战。拟议的身份识别技术研究中心(CITER)在四所大学组织了横跨物理、健康、计算机科学和工程的教职员工团体的活动，以有效地解决在安全/执法、信息系统和公共卫生等应用领域推进身份识别技术和系统所需的交叉研究。CITER将通过研究新的使能技术，对其各个领域的科学家和工程师进行综合培训，并促进将这一技术转让给私营和政府部门，在这一领域的技术和经济发展中发挥有利作用。

Automated biometric identification systems measure a physiological, behavioral, or biological "signature" from the human body or environment, process and recognize classifiable signal components, and then renders an identification decision based upon the parameters of a given application. Effectively addressing the breadth of needed biometric identification system research from to life sciences to the computing sciences represents a significant challenges to industry and government. The proposed Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) organizes the activities of faculty groups at four universities spanning the physical, health, and computer sciences and engineering, to effectively address the cross-cutting research needed to advance identification technology and systems in the application domain spanning security/law enforcement, information systems, and public health. CITeR will serve an enabling role in the technical and economic development of this area through research of new enabling technologies, the integrative training of scientists and engineers across its breadth, and the facilitation of the transfer of this technology to the private and government sectors.
