Learning outcomes

The student receives theoretical foundations in the field of analysis and interpretation of biometric data for biometric identification and authentication / verification, similarly in the field of forensic biometrics and biometric features in behavior during human-machine communication. The course will provide students with advanced knowledge and competencies in biometric concepts, technologies used and techniques for the design, development and effective use of biometric systems. Gain knowledge of mathematical tools used for signal processing and pattern recognition. They will also get acquainted with the approaches of biometric identification and authentication as well as with the methods of their implementation and applications. They will also get acquainted with the evaluation of biometric systems and the metrics used, including their parameters. Finally, he also knows the biometric features that are used in practice or are currently being developed in the European legal area.

Completion conditions

Assessment and completion of the course: Credit test and examination Continuous assessment: Student passes the continuous assessment and receives credits when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 20% out of 39%. To obtain the credit, min. 20 points out of 39 points. This evaluation is obtained by the student on the basis of continuous tests, focused on solving practical tasks as well as on the basis of solving semester projects or additional assignments. Final assessment: Student passes the final assessment and passes the examination when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 31% out of 61%. To obtain the exam, min. 31 points out of a total of 61 points. The exam consists of a written examination of basic knowledge as well as deeper theoretical knowledge and finally an oral comprehensive evaluation of the exam. Overall assessment: Overall assessment is the sum of the assessments obtained by students in the assessment period. The overall result is determined in accordance with the internal regulations of the Technical University in Košice. (Study Regulations, the internal regulation principles of doctoral studies)
