RESEARCH

Funded ISIS research

 

 The UNCW Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies in Identity Sciences (I²SIS) seeks to engage in scholarly research, teaching, and service via its endeavor to discover, expand and disseminate knowledge, innovate, and lead the application and use of the myriad theories, findings, and technologies defining the rising field of Identity Sciences.

I²SIS Technology Transfer Activities

The I²SIS Technology Transfer Team consists of Rob Hoon (University Counsel), Steve Fontana (Senior Technology Development Officer for Marine Biotechnology), Karl Ricanek (I²SIS Director) and Ron Vetter (Professor of Computer Science).  The team met numerous times during 2010-2011 and discussed a variety of issues including the development of a licensing model for the MORPH dataset and the development of future software technologies, products and services.

Two MORPH datasets,were created: (i) a non-commercial version for sale at $99 and (ii) a commercial version with the price negotiated individually for each commercial entity.

1. non-commercial MORPH dataset: was collected over a span of 5 years and contains 55,000 unique images of more than 13,000 individuals, spanning from 2003 to late 2007. A UNCW uStore was setup in the TouchNet information system to sell the non-commercial version of MORPH online: Non commercial version of MORPH
2. Commercial MORPH dataset: The database was collected over a span of 8 years and contains 156,313 unique images of 35,871 subjects. Subject ages range from 15 to 78 with a median age of 30. Both datasets contain metadata in the form of age, gender, race, height, weight, and eye coordinates. For license information on commercial dataset email: (ricanekk AT uncw DOT edu)
