D4FLY is a research and innovation action funded by the EU Horizon 2020 program “Secure societies – Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens”. The project consortium is formed by 19 partners from 11 European countries including universities, SMEs, research institutes and border control authorities.

D4FLY focuses on enhancing the quality and efficiency of identity verification at border crossings in all modalities: land, air and sea by providing faster and more secure border control solutions.

Research topics:

Biometric technologies for the verification of traveler’s identities on-the-move through 3D face, iris, and somatotype recognition
Smartphone applications for enhanced traveler verification
Thermal and multispectral imaging for counter spoofing
Advanced morphed face detection algorithms through Convolutional Neural Networks
Deep Neural Networks and advanced methods for impostor and document fraud detection
Computer vision algorithms for automated passport forgery detection
