Slime is poised to become the next big thing in fingerprint forensics. At least, that’s the case being made in a new study that is set to appear in the June 2020 issue of the forensic journal Identification Canada. The independent study is based on techniques that were initially developed by forensic investigator Caleb Foster, and […]
A new technical review from France’s Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale highlights the benefits of fingerprint biometrics technology in forensic investigations, and of Integrated Biometrics’ fingerprint sensors in particular. The Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale is the French Gendarmerie’s forensic laboratory, and tasked itself with assessing technology used by […]
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has shared the results of a study that compares contactless fingerprint recognition solutions to traditional contact-based alternatives. The organization noted that COVID-19 has generated more interest in contactless technology, but stressed that the study itself was carried out before the outbreak of the disease. In the study, […]
A team of researchers led by Canada’s University of Regina that have been using biometric clothing in a study on the mental health of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers for the past three years has received a federal grant worth almost $1 million ($989,925) CDN, and are hoping to expand the study to include […]
Researchers with the Cisco Talos cybersecurity group are trying to highlight the limitations of consumer grade fingerprint sensor security with a new paper detailing successful attempts to spoof the fingerprint scanning systems of popular consumer devices. The researchers claim a success rate of 80 percent, based on this premise: for each device attacked, they allowed […]
Biometrics News – Facial Recognition China’s iQIYI is sharing its facial recognition research at the IEEE’s International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV). The company has published a paper that specifically addresses unlabeled facial recognition data, and details a method that does not require any manual labeling and will allow that data to be processed more […]
“To account for the results, the researchers noted that diabetes can affect the eyes in a number of ways that may not be obvious, causing retinal damage, cataracts, and glaucoma.” A recent study published in Biomedical Engineering examined the relationship between iris recognition and diabetes, finding that iris recognition is less accurate for people with […]
“The atmosphere moves and shifts around and your image gets sheared and blurry. Applying my heat dispersal model gets rid of that turbulence and brings it back closer to a focused, sharp image.” A pair of researchers have managed to drastically improve the performance of a facial recognition algorithm for the Australian Department of Defense. […]
A team of researchers from MIT have published a paper that details the development of an algorithm that is able to recreate human faces based on a small voice sample. Dubbed Speech2Face, the algorithm was trained with millions of educational YouTube clips featuring more than 100,000 different speakers. The researchers were quick to emphasize that […]
Researchers from the University of Nottingham and the University of Derby have developed a new technique for reading fingerprints left on metal surfaces like guns and knives. The method uses Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy, and creates high-resolution images that are so accurate that researchers were able to see individual sweat pores up to 26 […]
