High confidence visual recognition of persons by a test of statistical independence

by John G. Daugman - IEEE TRANS. ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1993
"... A method for rapid visual recognition of personal identity is described, based on the failure of a statistical test of independence. The most unique phenotypic feature visible in a person’s face is the detailed texture of each eye’s iris: An estimate of its statistical complexity in a sample of the ..."

imply a theoretical “cross-over ” error rate of one in 131000 when a decision criterion is adopted that would equalize the false accept and false reject error rates. In the typical recognition case, given the mean observed degree of iris code agreement, the decision confidence levels correspond formally

How Iris Recognition Works

by John Daugman , 2003
"... Algorithms developed by the author for recogniz-ing persons by their iris patterns have now been tested in six field and laboratory trials, producing no false matches in several million comparison tests. The recognition principle is the failure of a test of statis-tical independence on iris phase st ..."

Overview of the Face Recognition Grand Challenge

by P. Jonathon Phillips, Patrick J. Flynn, Todd Scruggs, Kevin W. Bowyer, Jin Chang, Kevin Hoffman, Joe Marques, Jaesik Min, William Worek - In IEEE CVPR , 2005
"... Over the last couple of years, face recognition researchers have been developing new techniques. These developments are being fueled by advances in computer vision techniques, computer design, sensor design, and interest in fielding face recognition systems. Such advances hold the promise of reducin ..."

of reducing the error rate in face recognition systems by an order of magnitude over Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 2002 results. The Face Recognition Grand Challenge (FRGC) is designed to achieve this performance goal by presenting to researchers a six-experiment challenge problem along with data corpus

View-Based and Modular Eigenspaces for Face Recognition

by Alex Pentland, Baback Moghaddam, Thad Starner - IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION & PATTERN RECOGNITION , 1994
"... In this work we describe experiments with eigenfaces for recognition and interactive search in a large-scale face database. Accurate visual recognition is demonstrated using a database of o(10^3) faces. The problem of recognition under general viewing orientation is also explained. A view-based mul ..."

Activity recognition from user-annotated acceleration data

by Ling Bao, Stephen S. Intille , 2004
"... In this work, algorithms are developed and evaluated to detect physical activities from data acquired using five small biaxial accelerometers worn simultaneously on different parts of the body. Acceleration data was collected from 20 subjects without researcher supervision or observation. Subjects ..."

performance recognizing everyday activities with an overall accuracy rate of 84%. The results show that although some activities are recognized well with subject-independent training data, others appear to require subject-specific training data. The results suggest that multiple accelerometers aid

Gradient-based learning applied to document recognition

by Yann Lecun, Léon Bottou, Yoshua Bengio, Patrick Haffner - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1998
"... Multilayer neural networks trained with the back-propagation algorithm constitute the best example of a successful gradientbased learning technique. Given an appropriate network architecture, gradient-based learning algorithms can be used to synthesize a complex decision surface that can classify hi ..."

A tutorial on support vector machines for pattern recognition

by Christopher J. C. Burges - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery , 1998
"... The tutorial starts with an overview of the concepts of VC dimension and structural risk minimization. We then describe linear Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for separable and non-separable data, working through a non-trivial example in detail. We describe a mechanical analogy, and discuss when SV ..."

large (even infinite) VC dimension by computing the VC dimension for homogeneous polynomial and Gaussian radial basis function kernels. While very high VC dimension would normally bode ill for generalization performance, and while at present there exists no theory which shows that good generalization

Distortion invariant object recognition in the dynamic link architecture

by Martin Lades, Jan C. Vorbrüggen, Joachim Buhmann, Christoph v. d. Malsburg, Rolf P. Würtz, Wolfgang Konen - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1993

Eigenfaces vs. Fisherfaces: Recognition Using Class Specific Linear Projection

by Peter N. Belhumeur, João P. Hespanha, David J. Kriegman , 1997
