Revocable multi-dimensional shape-based multimodal hand biometrics for personal identification and verification. This project will investigate a new personal verification system based on hand biometrics. It will make significant improvements by thwarting identity frauds; creating trust in ebanking and epayments; providing social acceptance of biometrics; helping immigration and passport control; and reducing use of plastic cards to safeguard the environment.
Learning human activities through low cost, unobtrusive RFID technology. A rapidly growing aged population presents many challenges to Australia's health and aged care services.
