چکیده

We present a method to estimate recognition performance for large galleries of individuals using data from a significantly smaller gallery. This is achieved by mathematically modelling a cumulative match characteristic (CMC) curve. The similarity scores of the smaller gallery are used to estimate the parameters of the model. After the parameters are estimated, the rank 1 point of the modelled CMC curve is used as our measure of recognition performance. The rank 1 point (i.e.; nearest-neighbor) represents the probability of correctly identifying an individual from a gallery of a particular size; however, as gallery size increases, the rank 1 performance decays. Our model, without making any assumptions about the gallery distribution, replicates this effect, and allows us to estimate recognition performance as gallery size increases without needing to physically add more individuals to the gallery. This model is evaluated on face recognition techniques using a set of faces from the FERET database.

Predicting Fingerprint Recognition Performance from a Small Gallery

Predicting performance of biometrics is an important problem in a real world application. In this paper we present a binomial model to predict fingerprint recognition performance. We use a fingerprint identification algorithm to find the number of corresponding triangles as the match and non-match scores. Then we use these similarity scores in a binomial prediction model, which uses small galle...

Disguised Face Recognition by Using Local Phase Quantization and Singular Value Decomposition

Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

Do Art Galleries Stimulate Redevelopment?

New York City is often held up as a successful example of arts-led economic development. Case studies have documented the influx of avant-garde artists and galleries into several neighborhoods, including Greenwich Village, SoHo, and Chelsea, followed by yuppies and boutiques. Some researchers have used these examples to argue that artists and galleries can spur gentrification. An alternative hy...

Guarding Galleries with No Nooks (extended Abstract)

We consider the problem of guarding galleries that have no small nooks (regions that are visible from only a small fraction of the entire gallery). Intuitively, such galleries (of which convex galleries are a special but uninteresting case) should need fewer guards. We show that in any simply connected gallery in which every corner sees at least a fraction of the other corners there exist a set...

Gallery productivity, emergence, and flight activity of the redbay ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae).

Flight and emergence of the redbay ambrosia beetle, Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff, were monitored from March 2011 through August 2012 using Lindgren funnel traps baited with manuka oil and emergence traps attached over individual beetle galleries on infested redbay (Persea borbonia (L.) Sprengel) trees. Of the 432 gallery entrances covered with emergence traps, 235 (54.4%) successfully produced ...
