I/UCRC Phase II: Center for Identification Technology Research

身份识别技术研究中心(CITER)是一个工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)，专注于开发和支持管理个人身份的技术和系统。拥有可证明和可验证的身份对于一个人在现代社会中发挥作用是必要的。CITER与政府和行业利益相关者合作，通过与提供、确认和确定身份相关的协调大学研究，促进人类识别能力的最新发展。它的总体重点是人类分析、身份科学、生物识别分析以及隐私和政策的技术实施。西弗吉尼亚州立大学的网站提供与生物分子分析(例如快速DNA)、云计算、移动设备(例如智能手机)和视频分析的更多使用相关的创新。这些创新通过提供识别不良行为者的途径，同时促进计算、分析和信号处理的科学，有助于保护社会和改善国防。CITER致力于研究生和本科生的研究，积极接触K-12学生，并积极识别和满足身份识别技术领域下一代专业人员的教育需求。西弗吉尼亚州立大学的网站将其有史以来第一个专门专注于生物识别(生物识别系统学士)的本科学位带到该中心，并位于弗吉尼亚州西北部不断扩大的生物识别活动中心附近。西弗吉尼亚大学的网站将专注于与Citer的身份技术领域相关的四个技术领域：(1)生物分子生物识别，(2)跨模式和跨光谱匹配，(3)移动和云生物识别，以及(4)视频分析。快速DNA方面的最新进展将被用来提供工具和技术来帮助调查人员，例如，通过提供从指纹中提取少量DNA的能力。跨模式和跨光谱匹配提供了在不受限制的环境中识别对象的改进方法；例如，通过比较热图像和可见光图像，可以将热监视图像与可见画廊图像进行比较。在云的赋能下，移动生物识别可以提高便利性，但技术解决方案必须考虑隐私和安全。视频分析可以跨多个摄像头视图跟踪受试者，并允许识别他们的行为。

The Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) is an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) that is focused on developing and championing technologies and systems for managing the identity of individuals. Having a provable and verifiable identity is necessary for an individual to function in modern society. Working in partnership with government and industry stakeholders, CITeR advances the state of the art in human identification capabilities through coordinated university research related to providing, confirming, and determining identity. Its overall focus is on human analytics, identity science, biometric analysis, and technical implementation of privacy and policy. The WVU site provides innovations related to the increased use of biomolecular analysis (e.g., rapid DNA), cloud computing, mobile devices (e.g., smartphones), and video analytics. These innovations help to protect society and improve the national defense by providing pathways for identifying bad actors, while advancing the science of computing, analytics, and signal processing. CITeR engages graduate students and undergraduates in research, is active in outreach to K-12 students, and actively identifying and addressing the educational needs of next-generation professionals in the identification technology arena. The WVU site brings to the Center its first-ever undergraduate degree specifically focused on biometrics (B.S. in Biometric Systems) and is positioned in proximity to the expanding hub of biometric activity that has arisen in North Central West Virginia.The WVU Site will focus on four technical areas related to CITeR's technical area of Identity: (1) Biomolecular biometrics, (2) Cross-modal and cross-spectral matching, (3) Mobile and cloud biometrics, and (4) Video analytics. Recent advances in rapid DNA will be leveraged to provide tools and techniques to aid investigators, for instance, by providing the capability to extract small amounts of DNA from fingerprints. Cross-modal and cross-spectral matching provide improved ways to recognize subjects in unconstrained environments; for instance, by comparing thermal-to-visible images, thermal surveillance imagery can be compared with visible gallery imagery. Empowered by the cloud, mobile biometrics can improve convenience, but technical solutions must take privacy and security into account. Video analytics can allow subjects to be tracked across multiple camera views and allow their actions to be recognized.
