During this weeks episode, Ricki Boswell- Challand discusses his role as the database manager on the H-unique research project run through Lancaster University. H-unique is a five year project that will be the first multimodal automated interrogation of visible hand anatomy, through analysis and interpretation of human variation via images.\u00a0\u00a0The project has arisen directly from Professor Black\u2019s ground-breaking research in relation to the forensic identification of individuals from images of their anatomy in highly sensitive criminal cases.<\/p>\n

You can help the H-Unique project at Lancaster by contributing photographs of your hands to our project database. We are collecting two core datasets, the first is via our \u2018citizen science\u2019 web app from which we hope to achieve a minimum of 5,000 unique contributors. The second dataset will be our high quality \u2018control\u2019 dataset, photographed at Lancaster University with a target of 500 contributors.<\/p>\n

Anybody over the age of 18 can contribute to either dataset, but an individual can only contribute once.<\/p>\n
