This Strategic Project addresses urgent problems of guarding the safety and security of public places such as city services, including shelters, events and facilities. The key motivations include: (a) the need to develop the next generation biometric-enabled technology solutions for better identity management of city services clients and personnel; (b) the need to enhance the safety by non-invasive detection of health emergencies (such as fever) in shelter clients or at events; (c) the need to develop and test the concept of smart kiosks that provide city service users identification and risk assessment. This Project will involve the joint efforts of the research teams at the University of Calgary (Biometric Technologies Laboratory (BT Lab) and I2Sense Lab) and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) in Taiwan. The University of Calgary team partners with the Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre Society (non-for-profit organization), VizWorX Inc. (a Calgary IT Service firm), and NTUST partners with Taiwanese city services. This Proposal addresses acute need of city services that require privacy respecting identity management. In a broader sense, it ushers to society's need of safe and secure places. The team at NTUST will focus on facial and soft biometric technologies for city services, and the University of Calgary team will concentrate on risk assessment using facial biometrics in both visual and infrared spectra, as well as behavioral biometrics. The overall goal of the Project is to create a Platform for efficient support of city services to ensure public safety. Our vision is that the Platform design will evolve from its initial "check-in point" biometric-based authentication and behavioral abnormality assessment (such as intoxication or fever) into a smart self-check kiosk with detectors of potential threats to safety and health of other clients and personnel, including check for serial offenders, or calling for a medical emergency. Our long-term goal (beyond this project) is the adaptation of these technologies for various needs of smart city services mandated with maintaining public safety and security.

该战略项目解决了保护公共场所安全和安保的紧迫问题，例如城市服务，包括避难所、活动和设施。主要动机包括： (a) 需要开发下一代生物识别技术解决方案，以更好地管理城市服务客户和人员的身份； (b) 需要通过非侵入性检测收容所客户或活动中的突发卫生事件（例如发烧）来加强安全； (c) 需要开发和测试智能信息亭的概念，以提供城市服务用户识别和风险评估。该项目将由卡尔加里大学（生物识别技术实验室（BT Lab）和 I2Sense 实验室）和台湾国立台湾科技大学（NTUST）的研究团队共同努力。卡尔加里大学团队与卡尔加里临时康复中心协会（非营利组织）、VizWorX Inc.（卡尔加里 IT 服务公司）合作，NTUST 与台湾城市服务机构合作。该提案解决了需要尊重身份管理隐私的城市服务的迫切需求。从更广泛的意义上讲，它满足了社会对安全场所的需求。台科大的团队将专注于城市服务的面部和软生物识别技术，卡尔加里大学的团队将专注于使用可见光和红外光谱中的面部生物识别技术以及行为生物识别技术进行风险评估。该项目的总体目标是创建一个高效支持城市服务的平台，以确保公共安全。我们的愿景是，平台设计将从最初的基于生物识别的“登记点”身份验证和行为异常评估（例如中毒或发烧）演变为智能自助检查亭，检测对其他客户和人员的安全和健康的潜在威胁，包括检查连环犯罪者或呼叫医疗紧急情况。我们的长期目标（超出该项目）是使这些技术适应维护公共安全和保障的智慧城市服务的各种需求。
