¡@ Abstract: The most important challenge in biometrics is to be able to match a query biometric to a reference biometric in spite of the within-class variations and between-class similarities. Most conventional biometric image matching methods are based on segmenting the regions of interest, extracting the features and applying carefully-trained classifiers to separate these features. However, there are advantages to using signal processing methods that work in the spatial frequency domain. Correlation filters are one class of frequency domain-based methods that offer advantages such as shift-invariance (i.e., the object of interest can be off-center), no need for segmentation, graceful degradation and closed-form solutions. This talk will provide an overview of correlation filter design approaches and their applications in biometrics including matching patterns, image alignment, providing information for graphical models, creating cancellable biometrics and biometric encryption.

Abstract: The biometrics is a field of technology to automatically identify a person using physiological or behavioral traits like the fingerprint, iris, face, hand vein, etc. Among them, fingerprint recognition is the most popular for its small size, relatively high accuracy and economical price. However, conventional fingerprint sensors available in the market are all touch-based and a user needs to press his/her finger on a sensor causing many problems including image distortion, inconsistent image view, latent image, scratches or germs on the sensor. In this talk, touchless fingerprint recognition developed in BERC(Biometrics Engineering Research Center) is introduced. It is a new concept of capturing a fingerprint image without making a contact of a finger onto the sensor to overcome the difficulties in touch-based sensors. For one finger scan, the first BERC model with its internal structure is illustrated and compared with others. Then, the second BERC model having two side mirrors attached to the finger hole is illustrated. It is to obtain an expanded fingerprint image by mosaicking two side-view images reflected through the mirrors with the center view image taken as before. Additionally, the third BERC model for capturing all five fingerprint images at one time is presented. It has a rotating camera with five holes to hold five fingers. Lastly, a touchless model utilizing multi-spectral illuminators to detect spoof fingers will be introduced.

Abstract: Mobile phones are becoming
ubiquitous. This explosive growth has made mobile security more important than
ever. In particular, the need for more advanced identity check techniques such
as biometric verification emerges. Due to the differences between mobile devices
and general computing, however, biometric verification in a mobile context is
subject to special constraints. This talk discusses the special requirements of
mobile biometrics and presents a brief overview of recent developments. About the Speaker: Dr. Jiang studied Computer Science at Peking University and received his PhD and Venia Docendi (Habilitation) degree in Computer Science from the University of Bern, Switzerland. He was an associate professor at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. Since 2002 he is a full professor of Computer Science at University of Munster, Germany. Currently, he is Editor-in-Chief of Int. Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence and also serves on the advisory board and editorial board of several other journals including Pattern Recognition, IEEE Trans. on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics ¡V Part B, and Chinese Science Bulletin. He is Senior Member of IEEE and Fellow of IAPR. His research interests include medical image analysis, 3D image analysis, pattern recognition, and mobile multimedia. |
