Registration

This Lunch Talk will present a procedure for scanning friction ridge impressions and toolmarks found on the visible surface and inner walls of a terracotta sculpture from the Rijksmuseum collection using 3D micro–computed tomography, as well as methods for quantitatively characterizing these impressions.

Curriculum vitæ

Dzemila Sero is Assistant Professor in Biometrics and Computer Vision at UTwente. Her research interests lie mainly in face and finger-/palmprint recognition. She developed her own research line on the analysis of friction ridge impressions found on the surface of artworks from the Rijksmuseum collection. Previously, she held a Migelien Gerritzen Fellowship in the Conservation & Science Department of the Rijksmuseum and a postdoctoral position at the the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands (CWI). She obtained her PhD in Engineering Science at KU Leuven with a thesis on face recognition from DNA predictable traits.

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 International Face Performance Conference (IFPC) 2025

Date: 2025-04-01 - 2025-04-03 Location: This will be a virtual event

Organizer: National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) and European Association for Biometrics (EAB)

The IFPC 2025, takes place as in-person with 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.
