The year 2025 has begun. After the COVID-19 pandemic, we are gradually regaining our daily lives. From April, I will be in charge of the graduate program in Computer Science.
Additionally, the research I have been continuously working on is gradually gaining attention. On September 14, 2023, I gave a lecture at the "Cutting-Edge Business Applications of Authentication Technology" event hosted by Nikkei Inc., where I provided a clear explanation of contactless authentication.
In May 2022, my contribution was published in the May 2022 issue of the monthly magazine Denki Keisan (Vol. 90, No. 5, Issue No. 1192). The title of the article is "The Future of Biometric Authentication Technology" (pp. 30-35). Please check it out if you're interested.
On April 4, 2023, as well as on December 28, 2021, and January 11, 2022, I received patent approvals, bringing the total number of patents I have obtained to 15.
On January 24, 2021, my research was featured in The Nikkei under the article titled "Who Are You? The Threat of Identity Fraud and the Challenge of Proving Yourself." It introduced a contactless entry management technology that allows users to enter a PIN in the air and perform silent authentication using lip-sync password recognition. A similar article was also published in an interview with JBpress.
In 2020, I secured a research grant from the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) (2020-2023) for the project "Development of a Next-Generation Aerial Personal Authentication System Using a Virtual Panel." As part of this project, I worked on developing the Phoenix Authentication System.
On January 24, 2021, he asked the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, "Who are you?"
The threat of impersonation, the difficulty of proving me," the study published. It is a non-contact entry management technology that silently utters and recognizes the following words with PIN input and lip sync performed in the air. The same content was also published in the JBpress interview article. In 2020, the research budget of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (C) (2020-2023): "Development of a new next-generation aerial individual Phoenix authentication system using virtual panels" has been awarded, and the Phoenix Certification System is under development.
I was transferred to School of Computer Science of Tokyo University of Technology in the first year of REIWA (April, 2019). Along with the new era "REIWA", we will make every effort to reinvent the mind and to study education.
Since he arrived at Kagoshima University in April 1989, he spent 30 years at Heisei, Kagoshima University, learned a lot, and published many achievements.
Since April 2007, I joined Watanabe Research Group and opened
to public many research results. In April 2013,
I promoted to a professor and it is determination working on
further education and research.
In April 2016, our SATO laboratory was received Dr. Fukumoto(Research Associate).
Main research target is studied : biometrics identification,
time-varying image processing, image measurement,etc..
For the development, the creative system has mainly been
constructed using C language. Not only programming but also
manufacturing of the hardware using the various sensor.
SBRA2016 excellent presentation award was received in
symposium on biometrics, recognition and authentication (SBRA2016).
The theme itself was supported by the research budget of
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2010 - 2012) and
the patent application was also carried out.
As other applied patent, there are Lip-sync personal authentication system using movement feature of lip,Identification system based on the dentition image analysis,
Non-contacting security key entry system using the shape of the hand, Identification by the air signature,
Personal authentication using omnidirectional fist Image, Quantification of the walk
improvement degree with the walk rehabilitation, PIN code input system strong to multiple shoulder hacking, etc..
In 2014, 8 patent applications already submitted (see here)
Main participation society is Meeting on Image Recognition and Understanding (MIRU),
Symposium on Biometrics, Recognition and Authentication (SBRA),
Pattern recognition and Media Understanding (PRMU) of IEICE,
Computer Vision and Image Media (CVIM) of IPSJ, etc..
We are looking forward to meeting and discussing with you!
