An Experimental Comparison of Classifier Fusion Rules for Multimodal Personal Identity Verification Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an experimental comparison between fixed and trained fusion rules for multimodal personal identity verification is reported. We focused on the behaviour of the considered fusion methods for ensembles of classifiers exhibiting significantly different performance, as this is one of the main characteristics of multimodal biometrics systems. The experiments were carried out on the XM2VTS database, using eight experts based on speech and face data. As fixed fusion methods, we considered the sum, majority voting, and order statistics based rules. The considered trained methods are the Behaviour Knowledge Space and the weighted averaging of classifiers outputs.

Fixed and Trained Combiners for Fusion of Imbalanced Pattern Classifiers
In the past decade, several rules for fusion of pattern classifiers’ outputs have been proposed. Although imbalanced classifiers, that is, classifiers exhibiting very different accuracy, are used in many practical applications (e.g., multimodal biometrics for personal identity verification), the conditions of classifiers’ imbalance under which a given rule can significantly outperform another o...
