Responsibilities

Lumidigm’s differentiated biometric products and technology are based on collecting multiple direct optical images of fingers, hands and other body parts and combining these images to produce a single composite image that may be used for subsequent feature extraction, matching and/or other processing. We are looking for a Senior Imaging Scientist to join Lumidigm and lead the continuing development of this family of novel biometric sensing systems.

Professional experience

• 2 years of relevant, post-degree industry experience.
• Deep knowledge of and contributions to the state of the art in various methods of anisotropic image enhancement, image fusion, image segmentation and matting, image abstraction, the extraction of intrinsic image properties, scale space analysis and processing methods, video tracking, enhancement and processing, and differential geometry as it applies to image processing.
• Strong understanding of the design, components, and principles of digital optical systems and especially silicon-based optical systems operating in the visible and near-infrared.
• Strong understanding of emerging systems, methods and participants in the field of computational imaging.
• Demonstrated ability to creatively combine novel optical systems and algorithms to achieve a desired and useful result.
• Understanding of optical interactions in the silicon regime with non-ideal, complex, heterogeneous materials such as human skin.
• Understanding of photometric stereo, stereo imaging, shape from shading, shape from color, and other imaging methods that may be used to estimate the 3-D characteristics of an object from one or more images.
• Familiar with traditional and emerging methods of interest point extraction and matching.
• Familiar with biometric technology and especially technology based on dermatoglyphic patterns (e.g., fingerprints, palm prints)

Professional qualities

• Creative and innovative
• Goal-oriented problem solver
• Able to efficiently develop and optimize complex algorithms as part of a larger commercial system

Education

PhD in a relevant discipline.

Focused on improving the delivery of healthcare with convenient and secure biometric solutions, Lumidigm travels to Atlanta, Ga., for the upcoming 2010 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition, Mar. 1-4, 2010, at the Georgia World Congress Center. Recognized as one of the premier conferences in the healthcare industry, HIMSS is a great opportunity for Lumidigm to showcase its healthcare solutions.

Lumidigm will be demonstrating fingerprint sensors at booth #1264 on the HIMSS exhibit floor. Lumidigm products address healthcare IT customers’ needs for convenient, secure, and reliable fingerprint authentication that accommodates all environmental and demographic variables found in healthcare settings, including dry fingers, lotion, and even gloved hands.

To request a meeting with Lumidigm at HIMSS or to receive more information on healthcare solutions from Lumidigm, please click on the “Healthcare Inquiries” button to submit your request by email. We look forward to speaking with you about the ways Lumidigm can provide convenient and secure biometric solutions for your healthcare application.

If you have a healthcare requirement that could benefit from a robust fingerprint sensor, please call us at +1 505 272-7057 or submit the email form below. If you would like to meet with Lumidigm at the HIMSS show, please indicate that in your message.

Lumidigm will attend the 1st Conference on Technical Cooperation & Capacity Building for Border Management. Organised by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the Asia Pacific Smart Card Association (APSCA), this border management conference will be held in Bangkok on 19-21 January 2010.

Two representatives from Lumidigm will be speaking at this conference. Seth Miller will present “Introduction to Multispectral Biometrics and Robust Spoof Detection Schemes”; Sujan Parthasarahdi will present “Vital Specifications for Border Control Fingerprint Identity Systems”.

Seth Miller is a Business Development Specialist at Lumidigm where he is responsible for international market strategy and new business. He supplies audiences worldwide with expert information on how to develop biometric applications for successful “real world” deployment.

Mr. Miller has focused his professional career on understanding and implementing all aspects of technology commercialization. Prior to joining Lumidigm, Mr. Miller was a Principle and Senior Manager with EJB World Trade, an international business development firm providing executive oversight to a diverse portfolio of closely-held businesses. He participated in all aspects of the formation and operational development of start-up and emerging technology companies in addition to directing turnaround and exit strategies for struggling businesses.

Mr. Miller spent his early career with Xerox Corporation in various sales and sales management roles. Mr. Miller holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Arizona.

From the article:

The Lumidigm scanners were first deployed in medication cabinets at a hospital in Houston and has already seen improved performance, Bostick says. Staff that didn’t enroll in the biometric system previously because of problems have reenrolled and are using them now. “The nurses love it because it’s really fast,” he says. “We’re seeing a lot of improved performance.”
