Advanced identification technologies for human-computer interaction in crisis rooms
The advances in computer and communication technologies
increased both the number of users and the amount of data shared over the
Network. Many times the amount of complex and articulated information
available makes it difficult to retrieve what is really required for a given task.
For these reasons, the efficient, easy and trustworthy transfer of data is now of
paramount importance in many everyday scenarios, especially concerning
environments and situations where security and data protection are mandatory.
On the other hand, data protection often implies the adoption of security means
which create virtual (and sometimes even physical) barriers to data retrieval. In
this paper, advanced identification technologies, based on the processing of
biometric data, are presented. These techniques provide a number of tools to
facilitate the seamless human interaction with the data, and the security barriers,
by enabling the environment to recognize and learn from the user, shaping the
data available on the basis of his/her identity. The presented techniques are
based on the extraction of invariant features from face and fingerprint images to
process static biometric features, also allowing the enhancement of
identification accuracy by data fusion
