MOBIO – New video: Real-time face tracking on the Nokia N900
Researchers at the University of Manchester this week revealed a detailed face tracker that runs in real-time on the Nokia N900 mobile phone. Unlike existing mobile face trackers (video) that give an approximate position and scale of the face, Manchester's embedded Active Appearance Model accurately tracks a number of landmarks on and around the face such as the eyes, nose, mouth and jawline. The extra level of detail that this provides potentially indicates who the user is, where they are looking and how they are feeling. The face tracker was developed as part of a face- and voice-verification system for controlling access to mobile internet applications such as e-mail, social networking and on-line banking.

MOBIO – New video: Voice and face authentications facilitate third-party pickup
MOBIO can easily authenticate people over the phone. Imagine the scenario of a large nursery in a big city. One day you’re sick or hold up somewhere, and are not able to pick up your kid yourself. Your neighbour or a friend can help, but will the nursery release the kid? A communication between the nursery and yourself is needed to make this happen and you would want this communication to come from you and you only!
New opening for an Internship position for the development of a face recognition iPhone App
This project aims to integrate latest Idiap scalable face detection and recognition technology on an iPhone by developping an innovative demonstration application.
MOBIO – 1st video of a MOBIO use case is out.
The story follows the customer experience of a mobile wallet user. The level of security through biometric authentication increases with the amount of the transaction (no authentication for a soda, face authentication for a 40-Euros purchase, face and voice authentications for a cash withdrawal or a purchase above 100 Euros)
A new partner joins the MOBIO project
The MOBIO consortium is happy to welcome the new partner Visidon in his project.
