5 Previous Appointments
Assistant Professor Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, West Virginia University, August 2003 - August 2008 Graduate Research Assistant (Dr. Anil K. Jain) Pattern Recognition and Image Processing Lab, Michigan State University May 1998 - December 2002 Deformable Model for Fingerprint Matching: Developed a deformation model for ngerprint matching. The technique utilizes the minutiae points to establish correspondences between pairs of ngerprint images and thin plate splines (TPS) to model the non-linear distortions present in these images. Multibiometrics: It was demonstrated that the performance of a multibiometric system could be improved by learning user-specic parameters. Two types of parameters were considered: (i) Thresholds used to decide if a matching score indicates a genuine user or an impostor, and (ii) weights used to indicate the importance of matching scores output by each biometric trait. Fingerprint Mosaicking: The iterative control point (ICP) algorithm was used to stitch multiple impressions of a ngerprint to obtain an elaborate template containing more information in terms of the number of minutiae points and ridge ow characteristics. This resulted in improved performance of the ngerprint matcher. Studying User Access Patterns in High-Volume Web Sites: Work focused on clustering a web site into groups of documents that were predictive of future user accesses. The clustering was based on examining the semantic content of the web documents and the user trails indicated by the web logs. Hand Geometry-based Verication System: Designed and developed a prototype biometric verication system that used the lengths and widths of the ngers and the width of the palm to validate a users identity. This system was also applied to the problem of secure website access. Fingerprint Matching - Data Acquisition and Performance Evaluation: Fingerprint data was collected from 160 subjects in a laboratory environment using four different sensors. Experiments on sensor evaluation, image quality assessment, user habituation, and performance improvement using multiple ngers and impressions were conducted. Summer Intern, Imaging and Visualization Group, Siemens Corporate Research, Princeton, NJ May 2002 - August 2002 Minutiae Triplets: Implemented a ngerprint alignment method that utilized minutiae triplets to compute the rotation and translation parameters relating the query and template images. It was shown that the minutiae set of a ngerprint could not be constructed from the minutiae triplets thereby enhancing the privacy of the stored minutiae template. Summer Intern, Imaging and Visualization Group, 2

Siemens Corporate Research, Princeton, NJ May 2001 - August 2001 Hybrid Fingerprint Matcher: Developed a novel high-speed ngerprint matcher that utilized both minutiae and texture information to compare images. The hybrid matcher was shown to signicantly improve the matching performance of the ngerprint system. Fingerprint Matching Using Feature Space Correlation: A novel ngerprint alignment and matching scheme was proposed and implemented. The technique utilized ridge feature maps to represent, align and match ngerprint images, thereby obviating the need for extracting minutiae points or the core point to align or match ngerprint images. Summer Intern, Imaging and Visualization Group, Siemens Corporate Research, Princeton, NJ May 2000 - July 2000 Quality Indices for Fingerprints: A system to rate ngerprint images based on image quality was developed. Core Detection: A simple technique to detect core points in ngerprint images was implemented. The method used the orientation ow of the ngerprint image to generate a hypothesis map for the core point. Senior Engineer, Design and Development, Tata Elxsi (India) Ltd., Bangalore, India July 1996 - December 1997 The Intelligent Scanner Project: Project involved developing a system that could scan documents and automatically send them by fax or email to the specied recipients. Medical Image Viewer: Project involved developing and implementing algorithms for diagnostic imaging purposes. Intern, Tata Elxsi (India) Ltd., Bangalore, India January 1996 - June 1996 Ofine Cursive Script Recognizer: A rudimentary cursive-script recognizer that used a back-propagation neural network (one-hidden layer) and a linear vector quantizer was implemented.
