Professor Mark Nixon<\/p><\/div>\n

Academics at the University of Southampton, one of eight universities to have secured a government grant<\/a> to extend its research on biometrics, have been investigating new approaches to biometrics which relate human vision to computer vision to enable recognition of people.<\/p>\n

It’s called soft biometrics and essentially concerns using human descriptions within automatic computer vision systems. It forms part of the EPSRC funded SuperIdentity Project<\/a> which concerns a richer understanding of identity which encompasses aspects that we reveal both in the real world and in the cyber world.<\/p>\n

The fusion of cyber and real world measures is what makes this project challenging, exciting and timely. The result will be a more complete and dynamic picture of who someone is, enabling greater input into the identity decision.<\/p>\n
