Lecturer for the lecture:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jana Dittmann and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Claus Vielhauer

Lecturer for the  exercise:
Dr.-Ing. Christian Krätzer

This course will be held in English.

Attention:

• This course is held in a hybrid fashion (mixed online and - if possible - local presence)!
• The first lecture on October 13th, 2021 will be held online.
• The first exercise will be held on October 20th, 2021.
• Only LSF-registered students will be able to participate and receive the login information via e-Mail ahead of the start date of the lecture.
• In this course we will try new hybrid teaching formats to test colaborative working environments. In the exercise team sizes of 2-3 students are planned to work together on handwriting and hand geometry tasks. To ensure the compliance with current COVID-19 hygenic regulations, this work will be done online using colaborative tools.

Registration / Anmeldung:
The registration via LSF for the course is strictly required. Since the number of seats is limited we will assign the slots by "first come first serve".

Times:
Lecture: Wednesday 09:15-10:45 online using BigBlueButton
Exercises: (The first exercises will be held on October 20th, 2021!) Wednesday 11:15-12:45 online using BigBlueButton

The registration for the course is strictly required. It is exclusively done via the LSF (registration opens on September 15th, 2021). A registration via eMail is not possible. Because the number of seats is limited, we will assign the slots by "first come first serve", there are no short-lists.

Exam: The exam in this course is a combination of presentation and seminar paper (in German: "Referat") on a given course topic. The topics are covering different biometric modalities as well as additional issues such as ethics and fusion. Each topic is restricted to a student team of 2 students and focusses on the the realisation of a biometric processing pipeline and experimental setup for a given set of biometric modalities, the collection and documentation of corresponding biometric samples and the evaluation of the mechanism using the data collection.

Due to the increased effort for the students as well as teaching staff, the course size is restricted to 20 participants.

 
Lecture topics:

- Motivation, Introduction, Mathematical, Statistical, and Technical Fundamentals & Sensor Technology
- Security aspects
- Error rates, detection reliability
- Multimodal Biometrics and Multifactor Authentication: Fusion strategies
- Examples & application of biometric techniques
