CEDAR is a research center at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. Growing out of research on pattern recognition, conducted since 1978 in the epartment of Computer Science, CEDAR was made possible with funding from several federal agencies, principally the United States Postal Service. While analysis of paper documents and handwriting recognition continues to be our strength, we have research and software development projects involving diverse digital document types, as described in the CEDAR Research page. | More »
The mission of the Center is to establish a Unified Biometric Framework that will facilitate the development of next generation biometric systems. This framework will allow evaluation of market needs and constraints in choosing the biometric technologies best suited for a particular application. The Center will enable development of new biometric technologies from proof-of-concept to product-readiness including usability studies and educational outreach to evaluate and mitigate any ethical and legal concerns. It will also foster the development of radically different biometric technologies geared toward developing applications focused on improving comfort, convenience and security for personal and commercial use. | More »
