Upcoming Events

The iMARS project will host their final conference on November 21st, 2024, in Brussels: Combatting ID Fraud: New Tools for Image Manipulation Detection.

The programme will bring together esteemed experts in the field of image manipulation prevention and detection to talk about the tools and methods developed in the iMARS project: from training and e-learning, to detection algorithms, forensic solutions, image manipulation generation techniques, algorithm testing and validation platforms, and much more.

During the conference, there will be an opportunity to view live demos and discuss one on one with the research and innovation teams of the project. Next steps vis-à-vis integration, further research and future policy and regulation will also be addressed.

The EAB Council of Wisdom is a new body in the EAB that is set up to answer any questions you may have regarding biometric modalities, technologies, research and more... Send in your questions for a Q&A with the experts.

Recent advancements in deep learning algorithms, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Diffusion models, have led to a surge in the creation of highly realistic images and videos, which are often indistinguishable from genuine content to the human eye. While these developments have benefited the entertainment industry, they are often used to spread misinformation and manipulate public opinion. Moreover, in the security domain, synthetic and manipulated images and videos are frequently utilized to impersonate individuals, enabling unauthorized parties to bypass systems for biometric authentication gaining illegal access to sensitive information. Accurate detection of fake data is crucial for preventing security breaches and safeguarding the integrity of security measures and public information. This workshop is organised at the 35th British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC 2024) and aims to present the latest developments in the creation, evaluation, impact, and countermeasures against visual attacks on biometric systems. Practitioners, researchers and engineers from biometrics, signal processing, material science, mathematics, computer vision and machine learning are invited to contribute their expertise to underpin the highlighted challenges.

The IFPC 2025, takes place in remote participation mode, from April 1 until 3, 2025. The IFPC focuses on all technical factors affecting the deployment and use of high performance face recognition applications, including applications, standards, quality assessment,human aspects, demographic aspects, demographic effects, age and ageing effects, presentation attack detection, morphing datasets, their preparation, training and tuning, non-cooperative uses, accuracy measurement, and performance tests.

With support of the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, the conference aims to assemble speakers from all over the world involved in face recognition development, procurement, deployment as well as operations. The main aim of the IFPC is to bring greater maturity to face recognition by improving performance, transparency and trustworthiness. Furthermore, during this event, speakers have the opportunity to present proposals for technical or policy presentations which address problems that might influence face recognition operations and applications. The IFPC focuses on improving relevant factors concerning face recognition, including performance, transparency and trustworthiness.

The 12^th edition of the EAB Research Projects Conference is organised by the European Association on Biometrics (EAB)

The conference is currently the largest event on research funded by the European Union in the area of Biometrics and Identity Management. Over the previous successful editions, EAB-RPC has become the main forum in Europe where attendees can simultaneously: promote research carried out in biometrics, forge new links and networks, and identify the appropriate partners for possible future project applications. Last year’s edition welcomed over 70 participants from academia, industry and public institutions.
