Anbefalt forkunnskap

The course content will be complementary to the course "Authentication".

Forventet læringsutbytte

After the course, the students should have the capabilities to

- demonstrate a systematic understanding of biometric systems and react on disadvantages with appropriate technical and organizational measurers

- apply the skills of modality specific feature extraction techniques

- apply statistical tools for biometric and conduct performance evaluation

- apply multimodal analysis and solve the score normalization challenge in fusion systems

- analyze threats for biometric reference data, categorize them and implement protection techniques accordingly

- assess the appropriate position of a biometric component in a security system

Furthermore the students should have the competence to

- demonstrate the ability to design a biometric system suitable for a give scenario

- judge the relevance of ethical and privacy issues

- investigate for a given scenario technical solutions and evaluate them in a critical analysis. Synthesize new ideas during evaluation phase.

- can communicate with peers in the biometric community in terms of reviewing research topics

- manage team work
