Combination of Classi ers on the Decision Level for Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report is divided into two parts. In the rst part we present an overview of sensorfusion. We analyze the single steps in a fusion process and describe in a systematic wayseveral methods for combining pattern classi ers. The second part describes some practicalexperiments with classi er combination in the eld of face recognition. We investigate theimpact of decision combination on the recognition rate. Several combination strategies andtheir results are compared. The face classi ers used for the practical experiments are shortlypresented, too. We used two full face classi ers (HMMs, eigenfaces) and a pro le classi er(shape comparison). Thus, the combination is based on two completely di erent informationsources. CR

Hierarchical classification and feature reduction for fast face detection with support vector machines
We present a two-step method to speed-up object detection systems in computer vision that use support vector machines as classi ers. In the rst step we build a hierarchy of classi ers. On the bottom level, a simple and fast linear classi er analyzes the whole image and rejects large parts of the background. On the top level, a slower but more accurate classi er performs the nal detection. We pr...
متن کاملCombination of multiple classifiers using probabilistic dictionary and its application to postcode recognition
Combination of multiple classi ers is regarded as an e+ective strategy for achieving a practical system of handwritten character recognition. A great deal of research on the methods of combining multiple classi ers has been reported to improve the recognition performance of single characters. However, in a practical application, the recognition performance of a group of characters (such as a po...
متن کاملRobust thermal Face Recognition using Region Classifiers
This paper presents a robust approach for recognition of thermal face images based on decision level fusion of 34 di®erent region classi ̄ers. The region classi ̄ers concentrate on local variations. They use singular value decomposition (SVD) for feature extraction. Fusion of decisions of the region classi ̄er is done by using majority voting technique. The algorithm is tolerant against false excl...
متن کاملA Theory of Multiple Classi er Systems And Its Application to Visual Word Recognition
Despite the success of many pattern recognition systems in constrained domains, problems that involve noisy input and many classes remain di cult. A promising direction is to use several classi ers simultaneously, such that they can complement each other in correctness. This thesis is concerned with decision combination in a multiple classi er system that is critical to its success. A multiple ...
متن کاملCombining multiple OCRs for optimizing word recognition
In this paper we present a method of combining multiple classi ers for optimizing word recognition As opposed to existing techniques for combining multiple OCRs where the combination scheme is selected by either using some heuristics or using a character level training procedure the proposed method combines the results of indi vidual classi ers in such a way that the correct word is more likely...
