MRI:Acquisition of Instrumentation for Biometric Authentication Research: Collaborative Research

这个与WVU （05-21034, Ross）的合作项目，支持生物识别身份认证的研究，作为由美国国土安全部合作资助的NSF-ITR资助的一部分，补充了正在进行的工作。该研究开发了新的生物识别技术，包括5个课题：△需要3D数字化仪的面部识别技术的改进△需要强大的服务器和pc的大规模分布式系统的研究△需要强大的服务器和pc的大规模分布式系统的研究△需要大规模分布式系统的研究△需要大规模分布式系统的研究。-模拟匹配性能的系统扩展，需要强大的计算机；-研究视跳作为需要双图像眼动仪的生物识别技术；探索需要多光谱相机的多光谱虹膜成像。这项工作，开发分布式生物识别系统的新技术，以及进行大规模生物识别数据库的实验，旨在提高生物识别技术在可信和无处不在的计算中的接受度。通过对用户“图像”的生理测量来判断用户的身份，生物识别认证系统提供了一种独特的方法，将个人的存在与他们的网络行为联系起来，这样就可以牢固地确定用户的意图。因此，该系统可将个人与资料库内的身份资料实际联系起来，以加强保安，防止个人资料被滥用/误用。更广泛的影响：已经存在的强大的生物识别课程将被扩展，从而为国土安全部服务的许多领域做好准备。随着这些值得信赖的系统的增加，工程师的跨学科教育得到了更好的服务。这项工作涉及国土安全日益重要的问题。

This collaborative project with WVU (05-21034, Ross), supporting research in biometric authentication for identity assurance, complements ongoing work as part of an NSF-ITR grant that is cooperatively funded by the US Department of Homeland Security. The research develops new biometric authentication technologies and involves five tasks:-Improvement of facial recognition that requires a 3D digitizer,-Investigation of large-scale distributed systems that requires powerful servers and PCs;-Simulation of matching performance for system scaling that requires powerful computers;-Investigation of saccades as biometrics that requires Dual-Image eye-trackers; and-Exploration of multi-spectral iris imaging that requires a multi-spectral camera.The work, developing new techniques for distributed biometric systems as well as performing experiments with scaling up large biometric databases, aims at improving the acceptance of biometrics for trusted and ubiquitous computing. By rendering a decision about a user's identity from physiological measurements made on their "image," biometric authentication systems uniquely provide the means for binding an individual's presence with their cyber action so that intent can be firmly established. Hence, the system allows the physical association of a person to the identification data in a database to enhance security protection or abuse/misuse of personal data.Broader Impact: A strong biometric curriculum already in place will be expanded, thus preparing many in areas serviced by Homeland Security. As these trusted systems multiply, interdisciplinary education for engineers is better serviced. The work addresses increasingly important problems in homeland security.
