I/UCRC CGI: Collaborative Research - I/UCRC for Identification Technology Research

该提案的目的是启动一项新的I/UCRC“识别技术研究（CITeR）”，重点关注基于信任、隐私、安全和可靠性等坚实支柱的人类测量、身份和意图技术。拟议中心的领导人将是克拉克森（CU），地点在西弗吉尼亚大学（WVU）和亚利桑那大学（UA）。广泛的商业和安全应用需要测量、监控、识别人类和人类意图的技术。使用技术来提高性能（例如，对于给定的期望的阳性检测率，最小化错误警报）或改善用户界面（例如，通过机场的快速线路）将对社会产生巨大的益处。该中心将寻求先进的理论和分析技术，用于开发算法和评估人类和意图识别工具和系统的性能。各种应用都需要这样的工具，并且现有技术提供了显著的进步空间。拟议中的中心建立在自2001年以来一直在运作的现有中心过去的成功。西弗吉尼亚大学和亚利桑那大学自成立以来一直是CITeR的主要参与者，而密歇根州立大学等其他大学在图像处理等领域做出了显着贡献。在这项提案中，克拉克森大学作为牵头机构，增加了测量和信号处理的补充中心能力，以识别人类和人类意图，并以重要的方式扩展了中心。拟议的研究计划是全面满足这一领域需要的一套适当的项目。这些研究人员都有很好的资格进行研究，许多人在各自的领域有着重要的、备受尊敬的研究记录。CITeR将侧重于研究、教育和技术传播。CITeR的领导与克拉克森开发多样性2050倡议计划是一个积极的计划，以确定和解决下一代专业人士在识别技术竞技场的教育需求，并有可能导致在这些领域的高等教育的广泛和积极的影响。该提案提出了一个明确的计划，让其他的CITER网站参与这项工作。拟议和重组的CITeR将扩大其研究核心，同时建立在过去的坚实基础上。拟议的计划建立在现有的中心，自2001年成立以来取得了巨大的成功，有80多个项目，涉及22名教师和130名学生。

The purpose of this proposal is to start a new I/UCRC "Identification Technology Research (CITeR)" with a focus on technologies of human measurement, identity, and intent that rest on firm pillars of trust, privacy, security, and reliability. The lead of the proposed Center will be Clarkson (CU) with site locations at the West Virginia University (WVU) and the University of Arizona (UA). Technologies to measure, monitor, identify humans and human intent are needed for a broad range of commercial and security applications. The use of technology to both improve performance (e.g. as minimizing false alarms for a given desired positive detection rate) or improving user interface (e.g. speeding lines through airports) will have a strong benefit to society. The proposed center will seek advanced theoretical and analytical techniques for developing algorithms and assessing performance of tools and systems that for human and intent identification. Such tools are needed for a variety of applications, and the current state of the art provides significant room for advancement. The proposed center builds upon the past success of an existing center that has been in operation since 2001. West Virginia University and University of Arizona have been the key players in CITeR since its inception, while others such as Michigan State have made notable contributions in areas such as image processing. In this proposal, Clarkson University as the lead institution adds complementary Center capabilities for measurements and signal processing to identity humans and human intent, and expands the center in an important way. The proposed research plan represents an appropriate set of projects for comprehensively addressing needs in this area. The investigators are well-qualified to carry out the research, and many have a significant, well-respected research track record in their fields. CITeR will focus on research, education, and technology dissemination. CITeR's leadership with Clarkson to develop the Diversity 2050 Initiative program is an active program to identify and address educational needs of next-generation professionals in the identification technology arena, and is likely to lead to a broad-reaching and positive impact to higher education in these areas. The proposal lays out a clear plan for engaging the other CiTER sites in this effort. The proposed and re-organized CITeR will extend its research core while building on the solid foundation of the past. The proposed program builds on an existing center that has had great success since its inception in 2001, with more than 80 projects that have involved 22 faculty and 130 students.
