Surveillance cameras capture bodies, not faces. In the moments when a face is obscured, blurred, or captured from an unfavourable angle, traditional biometric methods fail. Can a person be reliably identified from body proportions alone — without a face, without clothing cues, without Read more…
Face recognition systems are ubiquitous today — yet we still do not fully understand how they actually make their decisions. Do they recognise a person by the shape of their face, or by its surface texture? This seemingly simple question has significant consequences for the robustness, fairness, and trustworthiness of deployed Read more…
Finger veins are attractive for biometric systems for one simple reason: they are hidden beneath the skin, cannot be copied from a fingerprint or photograph, and are unique to every individual. Modern recognition systems achieve excellent accuracy — but at the cost of specialised Read more…
Projekt realizovaný na naší fakultě ve spolupráci s FEL ČVUT získal na konci loňského roku ocenění za mimořádné výsledky v oblasti bezpečnostního výzkumu. Sada forenzních analytických nástrojů ke zpracování obrazu a videa pro službu kriminální policie a vyšetřování, jehož hlavním Read more…
V rámci našeho dřívějšího projektu jsme potřebovali ověřit, jaké možnosti dnes nabízejí moderní světlocitlivé kamery, které dokážou pracovat i při téměř nulovém osvětlení bez použití přísvitu. Jako zástupce této kategorie jsme zvolili kameru See3CAM_CU27 se senzorem Sony STARVIS IMX462, který Read more…
Researchers from the STRaDe group, in collaboration with teams from the Faculty of Information Technology, Brno University of Technology (FIT BUT) and the Department of Pulmonary Diseases and Tuberculosis at the University Hospital Brno, are developing new methods for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory tract and lung diseases.

In late May, we participated in the International Defense and Security Technologies Fair (IDET 2025), which took place from May 28 to 30 at the Brno Exhibition Center. The Faculty of Information Technology at Brno University of Technology was proud to participate in this important event once again. Read more…
At the end of January, tests were carried out as part of the project "Protection of Aviation from Low Energy Lasers". The aim of the measurements was to verify the functionality of the device and to prepare it for experiments with the developed algorithms in different outdoor conditions. In the coming months the scanning will be continued in cooperation with Read more…
A team of students (Michal Vaňo, Jan Svoboda) who completed our Biometric Systems course developed a web application for fingerprint processing that combines minutiae detection and type classification to demonstrate key concepts in biometric technology. Read more…
