Short Bio :

Norman Poh received a PhD (2006) in Computer Science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, or Ecole Polytecnique Federale de Lauasanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He is currently a research fellow at CVSSP where he works on improving biometric authentication algorithms. Prior to joining CVSSP, he was a research assistant at IDIAP research institute, Switzerland.


Researcher Expertise 

Biometric person authentication is an emerging field that aims to recognise a person based on his/her biometric features. Examples are face, speech and fingerprint. Because no system can provide 100% accuracy, we aim to improve the system robustness using several biometrics, also known as multimodal biometric systems. We can provide expertise/training in general pattern recognition as well as in the following areas (related to person authentication):
  • biometric template-updating,
  • analysis of biometric system performance change over time,
  • confidence interval estimation/generalization of biometric performance (over different population types, environment, application scenarios)
  • incorporating quality information into biometric systems, and
  • user/client-specific processing
