[CSENews] Research Participants Needed

[Teresa Isela VanderSloot]

Dear CSE Students,

  We need your participation in our new research project!

  Biometric refers to the identification of humans by their 
characteristics or traits. There are various types of biometrics 
modalities, such as static modalities (fingerprint, iris), and dynamic 
biometrics (gait, keystroke). Our project will explore a novel 
biometrics modality, dynamic hand movement (DHM). We hypothesize that 
when a user types on the keyboard, his or her movement of the hands 
constitutes a unique signature that can be used to authenticate one 
verse others. To validate this hypothesis, we need to collect a video 
database of user typing on the keyboard, and use it for algorithm 
development and evaluation. We plan to capture a video database of 30-50 
volunteers. In our laboratory at EB 3114, we will have a webcam pointing 
toward the keyboard, and record the video of each subject typing for 
around 15 minutes. As an option, we may also record the sounds of typing 
using the microphone embedded in the webcam sine the sound may carry the 
discriminative information about a user's typing pattern. No face image, 
subject name will be recorded.

The total time you spend on the data collection will be around 20 
minutes. To thank your participation, we will enter each subject into 
the drawing. Once the data collection is finished, we will select 10% of 
all subjects by random, each of whom will be awarded a 50USD Amazon gift 
card.

If you are interested in participation, please contact Joseph Roth 
(roth.joseph.e at gmail.com <mailto:roth.joseph.e at gmail.com>) as soon as 
possible to setup a time slot (starting Oct 15, 2012) for you. We aim to 
complete the data collection in October.

Thanks for your time,
