AIR Option 2: Research Alliance- Identification Technology Transition Readiness and Accelerated Innovation Network (IT-TRAIN)

这个PFI: AIR研究联盟项目的重点是传感器和软件中间件技术的转换和转移，以填补当前生物识别系统中存在的安全和性能限制。这些技术具有以下市场价值特征：准确检测指纹、虹膜和面部识别中的欺骗企图，以及增强生物识别系统的传感器互操作性。与目前生物识别市场上领先的商业系统相比，它们将提供显著的性能和安全优势。该项目通过开发强大的软件、系统和流程，完成了研究产品向市场的转移。结果包括在西弗吉尼亚州创造新的高科技工作岗位。在纽约州圣劳伦斯县（St. Lawrence County），为不断增长的生物识别认证市场提供商业产品，并有可能获得产品许可并创建衍生产品。参与将技术转移到市场领域的合作伙伴包括西弗吉尼亚大学和克拉克森大学识别技术研究中心（CITeR）附属的商业公司，包括研究和商业化合作伙伴NexID Biometrics， LLC和技术投资者Morpho和Seaway Private Equity Corp.，预计未来5年的潜在经济影响将在500万至1000万美元之间。这将有助于美国在生物识别安全市场领域的竞争力。社会影响将解决国家安全对准确的人类身份识别的需求，以及迅速扩大的商业身份验证市场。该项目将通过学生领导的项目团队，为创造创业劳动力开辟新的途径。这些活动将受益于我们的坚定承诺，即为来自弱势群体的学生提供研究和教育机会。该项目将成为西弗吉尼亚州和纽约州北部急需的以技术为基础的经济增长的催化剂和独特模式。

This PFI: AIR Research Alliance project focuses on the translation and transfer of sensor and software middleware technologies to fill the security and performance limitations present in current biometric recognition systems. The technologies have the following market-valued features: accurate detection of spoofing attempts in fingerprint, iris and face recognition, and sensor interoperability enhancements for biometric systems. They will provide significant performance and security benefits when compared to the leading commercial systems currently available in the biometrics market. The project accomplishes this transfer of research products to the market through the development of robust software, systems and processes. The outcomes include creation of new high tech jobs in West Virginia?s I-79 technology corridor and in St. Lawrence County, New York, commercial products for the growing biometric authentication market, with the potential to license the products and create a spinoff. The partnership engaged to transfer the technologies to the market domain include commercial companies affiliated with the Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) at West Virginia University and Clarkson University, including the research and commercialization partner NexID Biometrics, LLC and technology investors, Morpho and Seaway Private Equity Corp. The potential economic impact is expected to be the range of five to ten million dollars in the next five years, which will contribute to the U.S. competitiveness in the biometric security market space. The societal impact will address the national security needs for accurate human identification as well as quickly expanding commercial authentication markets. The project will develop new pathways for the creation of entrepreneurial workforce through student-led project teams. The activities will benefit from our strong commitment to bringing research and educational opportunities to students from the underrepresented groups. The project will serve as a catalyst and a unique model for much needed technology-based economic growth in West Virginia and upstate New York.
