November Testing Updates for the TENSOR Project

In November, the TENSOR project launched its pilot testing phase, marking a significant milestone in the development of advanced biometric tools and technologies for forensics. The pilots aim to evaluate the functionality, interoperability, and overall effectiveness of the platform and tools in real-world scenarios, addressing specific needs across three distinct use cases.

Use Case 1: Evidence collection through intelligence derived from correlated physiological and behavioural biometrics based on CCTV footage @ Police of the Czech Republic

 

 

 

 

 

This pilot advanced criminal identification by integrating fingerprint and facial recognition technologies with behavioral biometrics from CCTV footage. Facial recognition identified individuals in crowded urban settings, while behavioral analysis, including movement patterns and gait, added further validation. Fingerprint matching provided an additional layer of accuracy.

The system correlated data from various sources, using advanced algorithms to link physical and behavioral traits, and presented actionable insights through an intuitive dashboard. This streamlined investigations, reduced errors, and enabled faster suspect identification.

The pilot demonstrated how modern biometrics can transform traditional surveillance into proactive tools for public safety, setting a foundation for scalable, next-generation law enforcement solutions.

Use Case 2: Digital forensics extensions allowing orphan device owner identification @ Ministry of the Interior, Finland

This pilot focused on enhancing digital forensics by integrating voice and behavioral biometrics to identify the owners of unclaimed devices recovered during investigations. Voice biometrics analyzed unique vocal patterns from recordings, while behavioral biometrics examined interaction habits like typing rhythms and swipe gestures to create profiles matched to known individuals.

These tools enabled real-time analysis of device data, improving operational efficiency and offering actionable insights while maintaining strict privacy standards. By modernizing forensic practices, the Ministry of the Interior, Finland, demonstrated how biometrics can address investigative challenges with speed and accuracy.

Use Case 3: Biometric data protection and secure exchange in a cross-border scenario @ Ministry of Justice, Portugal & Ministry of Internal Affairs, Moldova

 

 

 

 

 

This use case tackled cross-border challenges in biometric data protection and secure exchange. The pilot focused on gait biometrics and explainable AI to enable non-invasive, real-time identification while ensuring transparency and fairness in judicial processes. Explainable AI provided interpretable and bias-free outcomes, fostering trust in biometric evidence.

In addition, fingerprint biometrics and interoperability capabilities were tested to enable seamless data exchange between jurisdictions. This allowed law enforcement to verify identities and collaborate effectively across borders, addressing multi-agency operational challenges.

Advanced encryption and secure protocols safeguarded biometric data, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. The pilot demonstrated how innovative biometrics and secure data handling could enhance international collaboration, ensuring ethical and transparent practices for cross-border law enforcement and judicial processes.
