Forensics and Security (ForSe) Lab
The Forensics and Security Laboratory (ForSe Lab) was established in the School of Computer Engineering in 2005 to focus research in the area of applying computational techniques to forensic analysis and security engineering. The ForSe currently comprises 8 Academic Staff, 4 Research Officers, 1 Lab Executive and 10 Graduate Students and 1 Exchange student. The lab also supports approximately 10-15 Final Year Projects every academic year.
The key research areas are:
- Forensic analysis – forensic analysis of computer storage devices, forensic analysis of handwriting, and forensic examination of digital devices including mobile phones and PDAs.
- Biometric technology – facial, fingerprint and palmprint recognition, gait, DNA and skin or hair colour analysis, biometric techniques using infrared imaging.
- Security engineering – intelligent video surveillance and monitoring for suspicious human action, facial analysis using emotion and expression, automatic searching and classification of image content, and clustering techniques for feature selection.
