ACTBIO pilot in real scenario Succesful!
Published by ayeriera on January 27th, 2011 in Showcase
ACTIBIO is a European Project in which several biometric modalities are integrated in an Ambient Intelligent infrastructure in order to authentify and monitor workers in their workplaces in a transparent manner. In other words, the workers have different features extracted by unobtrusive sensors and are authenticated without them needing to perform any specific action. The sensors are video (for face and gait), a sensing seat (anthropometric profile) and ENOBIO for electrophysiological signals. The perfomance achieved with ENOBIO is a 90% authentication rate with ECG and about 80% with EEG. Taking into account that the subject are free to move (and thus movement artefacts are inevitable), these performances are quite high.
The integrated system has been tested in a real world scenario, the Gotthard- Strassen Tunnel control room. The premises are in Switzerland, and the pilot lasted for 3 days. The workers from the GST tunnel tested the system with an impressive successful rate. The idea of ACTIBIO is to combine several different Biometric modalities in order to obtain a very reliable decision about the identity of the users. This was proven to work very well in the pilot site.
