Description

In biometrics we study methods for identifying organisms (usually people) from measurements of their characteristics.  In this class we will read recent papers in order to understand the state of the art in biometrics.  Topics considered will be based on student interest, but I expect to have a significant emphasis on face recognition, with a broad range of additional topics.  This course is intended primarily for students with a research interest in biometrics or computer vision, and will not be a core MS or PhD class for CS students.

 

Possible class topics include:

Requirements

Here is my current plan for the workload of the class. 

1) Reports.  Prior to class, students will read assigned papers and write a one page report summarizing and critiquing the work. Each student must turn in 14 reports.  Students should not write a report for classes for which they are giving a presentation.

2) Presentation.  Each student will take responsibility for presenting work during one class.  This will include selecting two papers to be read by the class, and presenting this work and related work to the class.  Students currently performing research in biometrics are encouraged to give a presentation about their research. In this case, the student should select two papers by other authors that provide appropriate background to this research.  For detailed expectations of presentation, see this rubric.

3) Project.  Students will implement and experiment with biometric methods, using real-world data sets. 

4) Class Participation.  Everyone should read papers before class and contribute to discussion of them.

Note: visitors or auditors are welcome.  However, if you are attending a class in which we will discuss papers, you should complete a report on one of these papers (see requirement 1).
