Theory of the signal processing, functionality of different biometric technologies and of their importance in the IT security, including systems for the police purposes. Knowledge of the methods of the biometric systems evaluation.

To learn the actual biometric technologies (fingerprint, eye retina, eye iris, DNA etc.) and their application in the IT and in the security systems. To learn methods for evaluation of the reliability and quality of the biometric systems, including biometric standards.

• Student should be familiar with the basics of the 1- and 2-dimensional signal processing.
• Valid schooling of Edict No. 50 (work with electrical devices) is needed.

Student must gain at least 15 points during the term.

Mid-term exam, presence in the laboratory practice, projects and final exam are monitored and given points for. There is no way to obtain the points for the mid-term exam, project after the deadline and laboratory practice additionally. Final exam has two additional correction possibilities.
