IMAGE AND VIDEO PROCESSING WITH FPGA SUPPORT USED FOR BIOMETRIC AS WELL AS OTHER APPLICATIONS

Paper presents the recent research in DMCS. The image processing and biometric research projects are presented. One of the key elements is an image acquisition and processing. The most recent biometric research projects are in the area of authentication in uncooperative scenarios and utilizing many different biometric traits (multimodal biometric systems). Also the recent research on the removal of geometric distortion from live video streams using FPGA and GPU hardware is presented together with preliminary performance results
