AI-generated face images and manipulated identity documents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project combines two complementary goals: developing robust anti-fraud
defenses for document images and selfie-videos, and using generative AI to
improve the robustness and balance of authentication algorithms. It sits at the
intersection of biometric security, digital identity, and applied trustworthy
AI.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ROSALIND is a strong example of translational biometrics research with direct
relevance to real-world identity verification.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EdgeFace: Efficient Face Recognition Model for Edge Devices</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/edgeface_tbiom-2024/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/edgeface_tbiom-2024/</guid><description/></item><item><title>From Modalities to Styles: Rethinking the Domain Gap in Heterogeneous Face Recognition</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/modstyleshfr_tbiom-2024/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/modstyleshfr_tbiom-2024/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Knowledge Distillation for Face Recognition using Synthetic Data with Dynamic Latent Sampling</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/kt4fr-syndata_ieee-access-2024/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/kt4fr-syndata_ieee-access-2024/</guid><description/></item><item><title>PopEye</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/active/popeye/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/active/popeye/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;PopEye develops robust privacy-preserving biometric technologies for passenger
identification and verification at EU external borders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project addresses operational constraints such as open-air conditions,
night-time acquisition, time pressure, and large-scale throughput, while
emphasizing privacy-preserving design. Its goal is to improve the accuracy,
reliability, and usability of biometric recognition in demanding
border-management scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PopEye represents a current strand of work where biometric performance,
privacy, and deployment realism must all be addressed together.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Template Inversion Attack Using Synthetic Face Images Against Real Face Recognition Systems</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/ti-fr-synface_tbiom-2024/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/ti-fr-synface_tbiom-2024/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Vulnerability of State-of-the-Art Face Recognition Models to Template Inversion Attack</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/ti-fr_tifs-2024/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/publications/2024/ti-fr_tifs-2024/</guid><description/></item><item><title>SAFER</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/safer/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/safer/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;SAFER addresses fairness and ethics in face recognition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project investigates how to assess and reduce unfair performance
differences across demographic groups, with work spanning both training-time
and scoring-time strategies. It also explores the role of synthetic and diverse
datasets in improving the responsible development of face recognition systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SAFER reflects a broader commitment to trustworthy biometrics by combining
technical performance with fairness, transparency, and responsible deployment.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>BATL</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/batl/</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/batl/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;BATL contributed to biometric anti-spoofing research in the context of the
&lt;strong&gt;IARPA ODIN program&lt;/strong&gt;, which aimed to strengthen biometric systems against
known and unknown presentation attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Within this line of work, research focused on robust face presentation-attack
detection, anomaly detection, multi-channel sensing, and the creation of
challenging datasets and protocols for evaluating spoof resilience. At Idiap,
this effort is closely associated with work on multi-channel face anti-spoofing
and datasets such as HQ-WMCA, supporting reproducible research on secure
biometric acquisition.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>TABULA RASA</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/tabula-rasa/</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/tabula-rasa/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;TABULA RASA was a major European research project dedicated to understanding and mitigating spoofing attacks against biometric systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project investigated the vulnerability of biometric modalities such as face and fingerprint to direct attacks and developed methods to detect and counter such threats. It played an important role in shaping the modern field of presentation-attack detection and helped establish anti-spoofing as a core topic in trustworthy biometrics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This project remains a key milestone in the evolution of biometric security research and in the translation of anti-spoofing knowledge to practical evaluation settings.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>MOBIO</title><link>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/mobio/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/project/former/mobio/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;MOBIO focused on &lt;strong&gt;mobile biometrics&lt;/strong&gt; under realistic usage conditions,
combining face and voice for authentication in noisy and unconstrained
environments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project investigated robust face localisation, speech segmentation,
video-based face authentication, speaker authentication, multimodal fusion, and
unsupervised model adaptation over time. It also contributed a widely used
multimodal database collected across multiple countries and sites, helping
establish strong evaluation benchmarks for mobile biometric research.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
