This collaborative proposal between the Univ. of Arizona and Rutgers is intended to support the DoD mission by conducting scientific research into fundamental theoretical and applied credibility assessment issues. The central objective is to identify techniques and technologies that will optimize rapid credibility assessment of humans passing through a security checkpoint in high volume, multicultural environments. The proposed research is intended to move the objective of noninvasive, rapid screening in high volume environments closer to realization, because current observational and interviewing approaches are inadequate for achieving high accuracy, and their technologies are invasive, cumbersome, or not yet mature enough for such a challenging task. The Rutgers Center for Computational Biomedicine Imaging and Modeling (
http://www.cbim.rutgers.edu/) will be responsible for the development of real time software for credibility assessment in such applications, based on the integration of multiple types of noninvasive sensors.
