joe6pk@peoplepc.com Excerpted> Organized biometric device evaluation and testing at San Jose State University began in 1995 under funding from the Federal Highway Administration. The Department of Defense (DoD) took over support in 1997, conferring the title "National Biometric Test Center" (NBTC) on the effort. This funding is set to expire in the fall of this year, requiring us to broaden our base of support to additional governmental agencies.
Under DoD funding and the leadership of Dr. John Colombi, we have defined three general tasks in biometric testing and evaluation: 1) development of mathematical and statistical methods for test design and evaluation; 2) evaluation of technologies for specific applications of interest to the DoD; 3) device testing. The Department of Defense has no interest in device testing, so it is the first two tasks that have been the core of our efforts, in particular the development of mathematical and statistical methods to lower the cost of testing and to allow for testing from operational data.
