The Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) addresses research challenges related to securing individual identity in a global society with a focus on automated biometric recognition and credibility assessment. CITeR’s mission is to advance the state of the art in human identification capabilities through coordinated university research, working in partnership with the U.S. government and industry stakeholders. CITeR achieves this mission through research in emerging enabling technologies; interdisciplinary training of scientists and engineers; and facilitation of technology transfer to the private and government sectors. CITeR researchers focus on biometric vulnerabilities and intelligence; biometrics and related identification technology and systems; and traditional and soft biometrics, fusion, cryptography, and mobile applications.
Research Areas
CITeR’s research portfolio advances the understanding of biometrics and credibility assessment that is central to realizing the next-generation identification management systems necessary for private sector and government applications. Research areas include:
Activity analysis in human networks.
Automated credibility assessment (video- and audio-based, textual).
Biometric fusion and multibiometric systems.
Biometric modalities (face, fingerprints, ocular, voice, gait, DNA).
Camera sensor networks.
Fusion of diverse information sources.
Novel biometric modalities.
Performance evaluation.
Sociolegal and policy frameworks.
Surveillance applications and human identification in challenging environments.
System-level design and evaluation.
Vulnerability assessment and reduction.
