Optimal decision fusion and its application on 3D face recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fusion is a popular practice to combine multiple classifiers or multiple modalities in biometrics. In this paper, optimal decision fusion (ODF) by AND rule and OR rule is presented. We show that the decision fusion can be done in an optimal way such that it always gives an improvement in terms of error rates over the classifiers that are fused. Both the optimal decision fusion theory and the experimental results on the FRGC 2D and 3D face data are given. Experiments show that the optimal decision fusion effectively combines the 2D texture and 3D shape information, and boosts the performance of the system.

Fuzzy Clustering Approach Using Data Fusion Theory and its Application To Automatic Isolated Word Recognition
In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the...
متن کاملFuzzy interval-valued multi criteria based decision making for ranking features in multi-modal 3D face recognition
This paper describes an application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) for multi-modal fusion of features in a 3D face recognition system. A decision making process is outlined that is based on the performance of multi-modal features in a face recognition task involving a set of 3D face databases. In particular, the fuzzy interval valued MCDM technique called TOPSIS is applied for ranking...
متن کاملLearning to Fuse 3D+2D Based Face Recognition at Both Feature and Decision Levels
2D intensity images and 3D shape models are both useful for face recognition, but in different ways. While algorithms have long been developed using 2D or 3D data, recently has seen work on combining both into multi-modal face biometrics to achieve higher performance. However, the fusion of the two modalities has mostly been at the decision level, based on scores obtained from independent 2D an...
متن کاملRobust Geometrically Invariant Features for 2 D Shape Matching and 3 D Face Recognition
Invariant features play a key role in object and pattern recognition studies. Features that are invariant to geometrical transformations offer succinct representations of underlying objects so that they can be reliably identified. In this dissertation, we introduce a family of novel invariant features based on Cartan’s theory of moving frames. We call these new features summation invariants. Co...
متن کامل3D Face Recognition using Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern
In this paper, a novel Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern (PGDP) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. Geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3D images with different pose and expression variations. An extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available Bosphorus and BU-3...
