Colloquium: Soft Biometrics: Traits and Applications, Dr. Antitza Dantcheva (INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France), Monday, April 20, 2015, 15:30-16:30 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Soft Biometrics: Traits and Applications
 |
Speaker: Dr. Antitza Dantcheva |
Abstract:
This talk will explore the role of biometric data in providing
information that deviates from the traditional realm of
identification, and rather involves other personal and statistical
characteristics, such as age, gender, ethnicity, gait, body height,
facial hair, makeup, anthropometric measures and accessories. These
characteristics, commonly referred to as soft biometrics, can be
powerful tools in many applications.
This talk will offer an overview of such applications, and will
discuss different related benefits such as the fast and enrolment free
analysis. Finally the talk will highlight some state-of-the-art
techniques.
Short Bio:
Antitza Dantcheva is a post-doctoral fellow at the STARS team, INRIA
Sophia Antipolis, France. Previously, she was a post-doctoral fellow
at the Michigan State University and the West Virginia University,
USA.
She received her PhD in Signal and Image Processing in 2011 from
Eurecom / Telecom ParisTech in France. She was the recipient of the
Best Presentation Award in ICME 2011, the Best Poster Award in ICB
2013 as well as the Tabula Rasa Spoofing Award in ICB 2013.
Her research interests are in soft biometrics for security and
commercial applications, where she has worked on retrieval of soft
biometrics from images, as well as their corresponding analysis.
Further work studies the impact of facial cosmetics on face
recognition, and also on the compensation of such an impact. Her
latest work studies automated facial emotion recognition for health
monitoring applications.
She was co-organizer of the ECCV12 workshop “What’s in a Face?” and
has served as reviewer for IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TIFS and IEEE TCSVT and
many technical program committees.
