Quality Controlled Multimodal Fusion of Biometric Experts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quality of biometric samples used by multimodal biometric experts to produce matching scores has a significant impact on their fusion. We address the problem of quality controlled fusion of multiple biometric experts and focus on the fusion problem in a scenario where biometric trait quality expressed in terms of quality measures can be coarsely quantised. We develop a fusion methodology based on fixed rules that exploit the respective advantages of the sum and product rules and can be easily trained. We show in experimental studies on the XM2VTS database that the proposed method is very promising.

Quality Dependent Fusion of Intramodal and Multimodal Biometric Experts
We address the problem of score level fusion of intramodal and multimodal experts in the context of biometric identity verification. We investigate the merits of confidence based weighting of component experts. In contrast to the conventional approach where confidence values are derived from scores, we use instead raw measures of biometric data quality to control the influence of each expert on...

This paper presents a test bed for evaluating, comparing and benchmarking fusion algorithms for multimodal biometric authentication. It consists of a database designed to benchmark quality-dependent and conventional fusion algorithms. These two types of algorithms are different because only the former one uses quality measures to derive the fused score. These auxiliary measurements describe the...
متن کاملRobustness of multimodal biometric fusion methods against spoof attacks
In this paper, we address the security of multimodal biometric systems when one of the modes is successfully spoofed. We propose two novel fusion schemes that can increase the security of multimodal biometric systems. The first is an extension of the likelihood ratio based fusion scheme and the other uses fuzzy logic. Besides the matching score and sample quality score, our proposed fusion sche...

متن کاملDiscriminative multimodal biometric authentication based on quality measures
A novel score-level fusion strategy based on quality measures for multimodal biometric authentication is presented. In the proposed method, the fusion function is adapted every time an authentication claim is performed based on the estimated quality of the sensed biometric signals at this time. Experimental results combining written signatures and quality-labelled fingerprints are reported. The...
