Abstract
The contribution of this paper is to compare paradigms coming from the classes of parametric, and non-parametric techniques to solve the decision fusion problem encountered in the design of a multi-modal biometrical identity verification system. The multi-modal identity verification system under consideration is built of d modalities in parallel, each one delivering as output a scalar number, called score, stating how well the claimed identity is verified. A decision fusion module receiving as input the d scores has to take a binary decision: accept or reject the claimed identity. We have solved this fusion problem using parametric and non-parametric classifiers. The performances of all these fusion modules have been evaluated and compared with other approaches on a multi-modal database, containing both vocal and visual biometric modalities. Keywords: Multi-modal identity verification, biometrics, decision fusion. 1 Introduction The automatic verification 1 of a person is more and...
