Is a medium-sized research centre associated with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Coimbra. Several projects are financed by public and private Portuguese and European institutions. It has fundamental research in AI and mainly in its applications to Robotics, Perception, Biometrics, Cognitive Systems and more. In the field of Biometrics, which is directly related to this proposal, ISRUC has a long tradition in facial recognition for identity management, including related topics such as presentation attack detection, ICAO compliance of portraits, and morphing attack detection (MAD). In the latter, ISRUC has the second top position in the American National Institute for Science and Technology – NIST benchmark.
