Areas of expertise

Person recognition

Our research in biometrics focuses on developing solutions for recognising individuals based on biometric features, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, finger or hand veins, and more. We have extensive experience in this field.

Liveness detection

The aim is to determine whether a biometric feature belongs to a real person or if it is fake. Our focus is on testing and developing technologies to authenticate biometric features, specifically in the areas of 2D and 3D face and fingerprint representation.

Biometric sensors

Our research group confidently designs and develops algorithms for commercial biometric sensors. We assertively assess client requirements and create a development plan accordingly.

Artificial Intelligence

Following the trends in image processing, where AI has been used extensively recently, we are looking at other applications using AI for camera data processing in addition to the use of neural networks for biometrics.

About


The STRaDe research group is part of the Institute of Intelligent Systems at the Faculty of Information Technology of the Brno University of Technology. The main focus of the group is research and development of technologies in the field of security, which includes both software and hardware. Security technologies cover a wide range of applications and devices. Most of our research is focused on biometrics. We are involved in many aspects of biometrics and our knowledge and focus covers a wide range of algorithms and solutions such as fingerprinting and recognition, iris and retina, 3D face and hand, vein recognition, liveness detection of various biometrics, etc. We also focus on developing solutions using image processing and artificial intelligence. We have experience with classical deep neural networks, GANs, LSTM networks and their acceleration.
