Historically, the research group has focused primarily on research in the areas of biometrics, sensor technologies, and security applications. The current STRaDe research team covers three interrelated areas. Given the importance of the practical application of our results, we actively collaborate with specialists who can put them into practice.

Biometrics and Forensic Data Analysis

The development of neural networks in recent years has had a significant impact on biometric research, opening up new possibilities in the field. So far, we have focused on a wide range of biometric topics, from the development of proprietary recognition algorithms to liveness detection and sensor reliability assessment. Forensic topics include scene context analysis and the development of new methods for trace comparison and digitization.

Current Research Topics

  • Finger Vein Recognition
  • Development of Recognition Algorithms
  • Liveness Detection and Spoofing of Biometric Characteristics
  • New Methods for Traceology
