This Project Grant award, valued at $200,000 and effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Clarkson University. The award supports the design and development of age-adaptive biometric identification systems for young children (ages 0-4) across multiple modalities, including facial, fingerprint, and iris recognition. The project aims to integrate quality-aware image capture and real-time authentication capabilities into miniaturized biometric devices to ensure high-quality data collection for this age group. Additionally, the project will conduct a longitudinal study to characterize how children's biometric traits evolve as they grow and develop predictive models to maintain accurate identification over time. The research also involves establishing privacy-compliant data collection protocols and collaborating with industry, government, and community partners to refine the technology and ensure its broad applicability. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
