			The main objective of the action is to investigate effective methods for the recognition of people over the Internet based on voice and facial characteristics in order to facilitate, protect, and promote various financial and other services over this growing telecommunication medium.
			The areas considered for this purpose are:
				1. Speaker Recognition Algorithms 2. Face Recognition Algorithms 3. Applications and Data Fusion 4. Evaluation of Biometrics Algorithms and Systems
			The main objectives for KEMT group members:
				- To improve knowledge of the issues and problems involved. - To study the current techniques for voice and face recognition and to evaluate their performance in the medium considered. - To investigate methods for the fusion of the considered biometric data and the interpretation of the results. - To analyse the implementation problems including user-interface issues and investigate effective solutions. - To identify the potential applications and analyse the requirements of these. - To develop standard methods and tools for the assessment of biometrics-based identification methods.
