School of Informatics Home Project Activities Members Archive Contacts Related LinksThis is a collaborative research project (between University of Bradford and Sheffield Hallam University) funded by Yorkshire Cocept (Higher Education and Innovations) and industrially supported by several leading biometric companies.
The
project aims to demonstrate the commercial value of IP generated at Bradford
University and Sheffield Hallam University and engage industrial collaborators
for future development of an industrial standard system for fast acquisition,
identification and recognition of 3D objects. Based on patented technologies at
both institutions, the project will generate further IP with particular
reference to 3D face acquisition and recognition while having a much broader
range of generic applications, for example, in the medical, industrial and
transportation fields.
The
main deliverable of the project will be the integration and fine-tuning of
in-house developed technologies for fast 3D acquisition, 3D data registration,
feature selection and characterisation, and classification based on a small set
of parameters.
This involves
collaboration between research groups at both the institutions in order to
integrate those complementary technologies to produce a demonstrator system for
fast 3D face acquisition and classification.
Starts: 1 March 2005
Ends: 30 March 2007
£70,000 + Support from various leading biometric companies
