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

该PFI：AIR研究联盟项目专注于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的功能：准确检测指纹，虹膜和面部识别中的欺骗尝试，以及生物识别系统的传感器互操作性增强。 与生物识别市场上目前可用的领先商业系统相比，它们将提供显着的性能和安全优势。 该项目通过开发强大的软件、系统和流程，将研究产品转移到市场。 结果包括在西弗吉尼亚州创造新的高科技就业机会？的I-79技术走廊和在圣劳伦斯县，纽约，商业产品的不断增长的生物识别认证市场，与潜在的许可证的产品，并创造一个副产品。 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）的附属商业公司，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.预计未来五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。 其社会影响将满足国家对准确身份识别的安全需求，并迅速扩大商业认证市场。 该项目将通过学生领导的项目团队为创业劳动力的创造开辟新的途径。 这些活动将受益于我们的坚定承诺，为代表性不足的群体的学生带来研究和教育机会。 该项目将成为西弗吉尼亚州和纽约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.
