</tt><tt>Pr. Christophe Charrier is offering one PhD fellowship on
multimodal hand biometric recognition system under uncertain

<p><tt>
</tt><b><tt>Context: </tt></b><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>The E-payment & Biometrics reserach unit conducts
research activities in biometrics, particularly on the design of
biometric systems as an authentication solution for a secure
electronic transaction. Biometric authentication is an
interesting solution for one part to enhance the security of a
logical access to any information system and another part to
simplify the use for a user. GREYC is recognized for its work on
biometric behavioral systems (dynamic keystrokes, dynamic
interaction with touch screens, and so on), the update of user's
biometric model to take into account behavioral changes (Romain
Giot's thesis) or the evaluation of biometric systems (Mohamad
El Abded's thesis).</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>In this context, a fully funded PhD fellowship is
proposed between the GREYC Laboratory (Caen, France) and the
Moduleus Company (Tours, France) for a three-year co-localised
position. The successful candidate will work under the
supervision of Dr. Christophe Charrier (GREYC) and Adrien Bailly
(Moduleus Cie.).</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><b><tt>Description: </tt></b><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Biometrics consist in identifying or verifying the
identity of individual in an automatic way. The recognition of
an individual is usually a non-invasive, fast and easy-to-use
solution. It is possible to extract multiple information such as
facial shape, veins of the hand (from a near infrared
acquisition), fingerprints, and so on.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>The proposed PhD subject will investigate how to develop
an original and robust method to recognize and identify
individual from the combination of only biometric hand data to
ensure a high level of identification for a biometric system. At
this time, existing methods do not guarantee a high level of
identification: the aim is then to develop a method that will
serve as an international reference for both academic research
and industrial applications.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>A non-intrusive ultrasound-based method will be used to
acquire different biometric elements of the epidermis as well as
the different dermal layers of the hand or of any part of the
body in a semi-simultaneous manner. For each acquired layer, an
extraction process of the most relevant information associated
to a confidence index (and or quality) will be investigated and
designed. Finally, a process of combining different biometric
elements under uncertain reasoning will be studied in order to
make the final decision. The developed method can be extended to
evaluate the evolution through time of individual's biometric
parameters in the context of medical applications.</tt><tt><br>
