Dr Weronika Gutfeter
Research interests: neural networks, biometrics
Weronika Gutfeter conducts research in the field of face recognition from multi-view images of faces, as well as applications of neural networks for character classification and detection in CSAM-type materials. Her research interests include: neural networks, including convolutional networks (CNNs), R-CNNs (regions with CNNs), aggregation networks for multi-view images (multi-view CNNs), and solutions based on transformer networks, including sequence-to-sequence models, 3D and semi-3D imaging in biometrics. She has created solutions that have been highly evaluated in algorithmic competitions held at biometric scientific conferences:
- a method for identifying faces in video surveillance footage (4th place in the International Challenge on Biometric Recognition in the Wild 2016),
- ear image recognition algorithm (6th place at Unconstrained Ear Recognition Challenge 2019),
- detection of human figures in depth and thermal images (1st place at 2020 Looking at People Challenge FG Identity-preserved human detection).
Weronika Gutfeter represents NASK in the European Association for Biometrics (EAB).
