• 39 hrs lectures
• 6 hrs laboratories
• 7 hrs projects

• 55 pts final exam (40 pts written part, 15 pts test part)
• 15 pts mid-term test (11 pts written part, 4 pts test part)
• 12 pts labs
• 18 pts projects

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.

After completing the course, the student understands theory of the signal processing, functionality of different biometric technologies and of their importance in the IT security, including systems for the police purposes. The student has knowledge of the methods of the biometric systems evaluation.

Students will become familiar with biometrics systems during the course. This modern way of security is getting into everyday life. Whether in the form of biometric passports or access systems.

• 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.

1. Mid-term written test.
2. Attending of the laboratory seminars.
3. Project.

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.

Student must gain at least 15 points during the term and at the same time at least 3 points student must get from project.
