Biometrics

Lecturer:

Daniel Novák (gar.), Eduard Bakštein, Vojtěch Franc, Václav Hanžl, Jiří Wild

Tutor:

Daniel Novák (gar.), Pavel Vostatek

Supervisor:

Department of Cybernetics

Synopsis:

The course explains principles of methods that are currently most frequently used in biometric applications. They are analyzed not only from the point of view of security risks but their speed, price and precision is considered as well. Special attention is devoted to security and privacy considerations including encryption.

Requirements:

Matematics I

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Biometrics-introduction, history perspective, economic overview, identifiable biometric characteristics.

2. Multimodal Biometrics, Performance Evaluation, Biometric Standards.

3. Fingerprints registration, preprocessing and extraction of minutiae I.

4. Extraction of minutiae II, fingerprint classification.

5. Dynamic signature-registration, analysis.

6. Iris recognition, principles.

7. Iris recognition, extraction and classification.

8. Face recognition, main modalities.

9. Face recognition, feature extraction and classification.

10. Speech recognition, cepstrum analysis.

11. Speech recognition, Hidden Markov Models.

12. Classification and indexation in biometrics system.

13. Biometrics and Cryptography, threats to Biometrics.

14. Reserve.

Syllabus of tutorials:

Student will implement three taks

a) recognition of fingerprint

b) recognition of iris

c) recognition of signature

Students can register their own biometrics as fingerprint, iris or signature. Pre-implemented scripts in Matlab are available.

Study Objective:

The course provides introduction to biometric systems, applications, signal processing, biometrics system security and encryption.
