The Visual Computing and Biometric Security Lab is a research group comprising undergraduates, Masters, and Ph.D. students directed by Dr. Ajita Rattani. The lab's mission is to conduct cutting-edge research in advanced techniques concerning Visual Computing and Biometric Security. Visual Computing is a broad term that encompasses several areas in computer science including computer vision image and video processing, machine learning, deep learning, and pattern recognition.
Biometrics is the art of recognizing individuals based on their physiological or behavioral characteristics. Current research activities of the research group include studying Bias and Fairness of AI systems, Deepfake Detection, Models for On-device AI, Wearable Biometrics, Harnessing Unlabeled Data for Domain Adaptation, Computer Vision for Natural Disaster Assessment, and AI for Healthcare and Obesity Prediction.
