Research description
Biometric sensing explores the data derived from human action or direct measurements of the human body, using methods which focus upon the individual variations between members of a given population. Research is dedicated to the fusion and interpretation of multiple measurements of one biometric modality over time, for example face recognition in video-streams as well as the integration of different modalities originating from different sensors. The use of biometric sensing is increasingly important in many applications ranging form security (authentication and identification) to intuitive and ergonomic human machine interfaces in smart environments.
