WVU is helping to advance the state-of-the-art in biometrics and needs a hand to compile a voluntary, anonymous, test bed data set—one which will be used by the WVU and the FBI to test new biometric collection devices. Donor privacy will be safeguarded and protected.
Participate in this 45 minute painless process that includes the collection of your fingerprints, iris, and facial images, and you will receive $40 worth of gift cards!
This collection includes performing research on biometric recognition at different ages. We ask that you bring in five non-copyrighted pictures of yourself, spanning a period of ten years, with each picture being at least one year apart. The pictures will be scanned and used to study facial changes over time. You can bring in physical photos of yourself, or even electronic images. You will be helping to create a one-of-a-kind database to advance research in this area.
All who are 18 years of age and older are eligible to participate. Students, faculty, employees, and alumni of WVU are especially welcome.
