EU study puts digital identity on research roadmap for next Horizon Europe | Biometric Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The European Union is deciding where to place its next big technology bets. The European Commission has proposed €175 billion for Horizon Europe for 2028–2034, the EU’s next seven-year research and innovation program. The proposed structure makes Digital Leadership a strategic area within its competitiveness pillar, while separate proposed “moonshot” projects target technologies including next-generation AI, quantum computing and data sovereignty. The €175 billion is not yet an approved budget.
Deepfake defense draws new capital as voice detection checks near 5.5B by 2028 | Biometric Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Modulate has raised $25 million, bringing its total funding to $60 million, as investors put more money behind technology that analyzes human speech, including whether the voice on the other end of a call is real. Future Ventures led the round, with participation from Hyperplane and Lakestar. Modulate built its business largely on voice-chat moderation, with its ToxMod product used to police toxicity in online gaming. The company now pitches its models for a wider set of uses, including deepfake
NIST age estimation results show why the best algorithm depends on the use case | Biometric Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NIST’s latest Face Analysis Technology Evaluation (FATE) age-estimation round adds four algorithms to the ongoing benchmark: new submissions from three returning developers, Incode -002, ROC-003 and Neurotechnology-003, along with first-time entrant, the mysterious tsight-000. Read across NIST’s per-age, demographic, image-resolution and threshold results, the latest evaluation shows how the answer to “which algorithm performs best?” changes with the question being asked. Overall accuracy rankin
Moldova plans national facial image database for police searches, European data exchange | Biometric Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Moldova’s Ministry of Internal Affairs is proposing a national facial image registry to help law enforcement identify suspects, investigate crimes, find missing people and identify human remains using facial biometrics. The proposal comes as Moldova, which borders Ukraine, expands its law enforcement and border security capabilities amid concerns about organized crime, terrorism and other cross-border threats tied to the war and the wider region. It also arrives at a moment when the country rema
Better face recognition exposes limits of image quality scores | Biometric Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Face recognition algorithms are becoming increasingly capable of extracting identity information from poor images. But new research into low-resolution face recognition highlights a stubborn operational problem: better algorithms can recover more from degraded imagery, but only when useful identity information remains. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University tested a new approach to recognizing faces affected by conditions common in surveillance imagery, including blur, occlusion, poor contrast,
