Biometrics at Cambridge Algorithmica |
Cambridge Algorithmica has had a serious involvement in development of biometrics over many years.
The Company's two most recent areas of work on biometrics are:
R&D into multi-modal and other multi-biometric fusion, from late 2003 and ongoing;
Participation in the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE), organised by the USA National Institution for Science and Technology (NIST), from late 2005.
The Company's founder, Nigel Sedgwick, has served as a technical expert for the British Standards Institute (BSI) Technical Committee IST/44 Biometric Standards, from November 2003 to February 2005. This work included representing the UK on biometrics standardisation internationally at ISO/IEC SC/37 meetings in Sydney (February 2004) and Paris (November 2004).
A major piece of earlier work was on Dynamic Signature Verification (DSV). This was done for Rolls Royce PLC, using their very interesting technique of sensing the signature using acoustic emission.
The Company has also worked on Speaker Verification (SV) and Speaker Identification (SID), for both industry and government.
