The goal of the sponsored research was to develop face recognition algorithms. The FERET database was collected to support the sponsored research and the FERET
The Face in Video Evaluation (FIVE) is being conducted to assess the capability of face recognition algorithms to correctly identify or ignore persons appearing
With increasing use of data-driven methodologies, concerns around data discovery, data access, and data interoperability have come to the forefront. Communities
The Materials Data Curation System has the potential to accelerate interoperable data exchange within materials science and engineering. This platform is
This project aims to provide the world's best basis for accurate impedance measurements by tying the U.S. legal system of electrical units to the International
Far-infrared (or terahertz/THz, ca. 25 to 300 micron wavelength) femtosecond pulsed laser and Fourier-transform infrared methods are employed to measure
The evaluation of Fast Tenprint Capture devices is threefold. The first is the absolute measurement, i.e., stipulating the specifications and designing targets
Our objective is to evaluate mechanisms of fatigue in bulk silicon, a material that has been traditionally considered to be immune to degradation of mechanical
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) established a Fatty
Fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) methods are receiving increasing consideration for application in space-conditioning equipment as a method to reduce energy
The Federal Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Forum ( formerly the Federal Computer Security Managers Forum or FCSM) is an informal group sponsored by the
The FISMA Implementation Project was established in January 2003 to produce several key security standards and guidelines required by Congressional legislation
Condensed matter dynamics can evolve on a subpicosecond timescale, too fast to follow using many characterization techniques. We use femtosecond optical pulses
We develop self-referenced mode-locked femtosecond lasers that function as the "gears" of optical clocks. The femtosecond laser clockwork is capable of phase
Optical frequency combs convert a laser source containing a single frequency of light into pulses that include thousands of frequencies. This project aims to
To support comb-based measurements outside the metrology laboratory, we develop high performance, robust frequency combs based on fiber-optic technology.
The goal of this focus area is to leverage the wealth of chemical information present in fingerprint deposits for novel forensic applications. This includes
