Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Identification Technology Research

1 /UCRC识别技术研究；纽约州立大学布法罗分校（UB）提议加入识别技术研究中心（CITeR）作为一个大学网站。CITeR目前由克拉克森大学（牵头）、西弗吉尼亚大学和亚利桑那大学组成，成立于大约十年前，旨在将工业界和学术界的兴趣汇聚在生物识别领域。UB网站建议通过将模式识别和机器学习算法与传感器技术相结合，推进民用和国土安全应用的生物识别技术科学。UB团队计划将大脑扫描与面部表情和识别结合起来，试图记录情绪。UB的兴趣在于对生物特征模板进行加密，同时保持索引和搜索的效率。UB基地的多学科教师将设计化学和光传感器，提出新的生物识别模式，集成活体检测。UB网站将进一步实现CITeR作为一个综合性学术中心的目标，服务于日益增长的识别技术研究，本科和研究生教育，以及公共和私营部门的外展需求。UB网站带来了在行为科学，计算机视觉，可视化，模式识别，机器学习和普及计算领域经验丰富的团队。在布法罗地区少数民族工程意识（BEAM）的支持下，拟议的场地计划吸引当地高中生和本科生的参与。UB网站还打算增加少数族裔获得科学、技术、工程和数学研究生学位的人数。CITeR会议有望成为学生与潜在雇主互动以了解该领域挑战的绝佳机会。

I/UCRC for Identification Technology Research 1160585 SUNY at Buffalo; Venugopal Govindaraju The University at Buffalo, SUNY (UB) proposes to join the Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) as a university site. CITeR, currently comprised of Clarkson University (lead), West Virginia University and the University of Arizona, was established about a decade ago to be the forum for bringing industry and academic interests to converge in the biometrics arena.. The UB site proposes to advance the science of biometric technologies for both civilian and homeland security applications by integrating pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms with sensors technology. The UB team plans to fuse brain scans with facial expressions and recognition to attempt to record emotion. UB's interest is in encrypting biometric templates while maintaining efficiency of indexing and search. The multidisciplinary faculty at the UB site will design chemical and photo sensors to propose new biometric modalities with integrated liveness detection. The UB site will further CITeR's objective to serve as a comprehensive academic center serving the growing identification technology research, undergraduate and graduate education, and outreach needs of the public and private sectors. The UB site brings an experienced team in the areas of behavioral science, computer vision, visualization, pattern recognition, machine learning, and pervasive computing. Under the auspices of BEAM (Buffalo Area Engineering Awareness for Minorities), the proposed site plans to attract the participation of local high school and undergraduate students. The UB site also intends to increase the number of under-represented minorities obtaining graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. CITeR meetings are expected to serve as an excellent opportunity for students to interact with potential employers to understand challenges in the field.
