Leveraging Soft Biometrics for Identification – Age Estimation in the TENSOR Project

The TENSOR project addresses the complexity and interoperability issues that have limited practical adoption of biometric technologies in policing and forensics. The session will showcase one of the project's use cases: how IDEMIA’s age estimation technology can improve the accuracy of the suspect identification process

Leveraging Behavioural Biometrics for Identification – Gait Recognition in the TENSOR Project

The TENSOR project addresses the complexity and interoperability issues that have limited practical adoption of biometric technologies in policing and forensics. The session will showcase one of the project's use cases: how Fsas Technologies' gait recognition technology analyses individual's walking patterns to support identification in challenging visual conditions.

EU-funded Research and Innovation in Civil Security

IAMI Identity Attributes Matrix Initiative

IAMI Identity Attributes Matrix Initiative aims to revolutionize entity identification and resolution in security and law enforcement using an advanced AI-powered system. It addresses challenges like noisy environments and large data analysis, enabling EU agencies to improve investigations, collaboration, and counter-terrorism efforts through a new identity-attributes framework and shared intelligence repository

ATHENE – Advanced Embedded Biometrics

Advanced Embedded Biometrics (EB) develops efficient, privacy-friendly deep learning models for biometric applications on resource-constrained devices through advanced model compression and domain-specific architectures. The project focuses on creating data-efficient training methods and synthetic data generation to enable robust biometric systems in embedded environments.
