M2VTS project addresses the issue of secured access to local and centralised
services in a multimedia environment. The major problem in user authentification is to
achieve on the one hand toll performance: false acceptance rate as low as possible
(minimise access to impostors), and false rejection rate as low as possible (a registered
user should access to his system in any case), and on the other hand stand the wide range
of conditions of use of such systems as well as to provide ergonomically viable solutions.
The use of multiple modalities will help to overpass potential technical
limitations of individual modalities as well as take benefit of the emerging multimedia
environment : workstations, network computers, smart phones are more and more equiped
with audio and video capabilities. The research is driven by the application needs and
user requirements. Therefore, work has essentially been driven by three main goals:
- Develop platforms for evaluation, implementation and fast prototyping of
technology. Submit these platforms to user tests in real situations, in order to measure
the adequation between user requirements and current maturity of the technology.
- Develop algorithmic solutions for user authentification in a multi modal context.
Implement these solutions on the software platforms for fast prototyping. Refinements of
the algorithms based on the results of the user tests in real situations.
- Develop prototypical applications for end users.
