• Abstract: The use of multiple modalities (e.g., face and fingerprint) or multiple algorithms (e.g., three face comparators) has shown to improve the recognition accuracy of an operational biometric system. Over time a biometric system may evolve to add new modalities, retire old modalities, or be merged with other biometric systems. This can lead to scenarios where there are missing scores corresponding to the input probe set. Previous work on this topic has focused on either the verification or identification tasks, but not both. Further, the proportion of missing data considered has been less than 50%. In this work, we study the impact of missing score data for both the verification and identification tasks. We show that the application of various score imputation methods along with simple sum fusion can improve recognition accuracy, even when the proportion of missing scores increases to 90%. Experiments show that fusion after score imputation outperforms fusion with no imputation. Specifically, iterative imputation with K nearest neighbors consistently surpasses other imputation methods in both the verification and identification tasks, regardless of the amount of scores missing, and provides imputed values that are consistent with the ground truth complete dataset.

  Most practical applications involve open-set biometrics, where probe subjects may or may not be present in the gallery. Existing loss functions are inconsistent with open-set evaluation. We introduce novel loss functions: (1) the identification-detection loss optimized for open-set performance under selective thresholds and (2) relative threshold minimization to reduce the maximum negative score for each probe.

  "IdentiFace" is a multimodal facial biometric system that combines the core of facial recognition with some of the most important soft biometric traits such as gender, face shape, and emotion. For the recognition problem, we acquired a 99.2% test accuracy for five classes with high intra-class variations using data collected from the FERET database. We were also able to achieve a testing accuracy of 88.03% in the face-shape problem using the celebrity face-shape dataset.

  We focus on untargeted attacks that can be carried out both online and offline, and in both identification and verification modes. We use the False Match Rate (FMR) and the False Positive Identification Rate (FPIR) to address the security of these systems. The study of this metric space, and system parameters, gives us the complexity of untargeted attacks and the probability of a near-collision.

  We describe and evaluate the ATVS-UAM fusion approach submitted to the quality-based evaluation of the 2007 BioSecure Multimodal Evaluation Campaign. Our approach is based on linear logistic regression, in which fused scores tend to be log-likelihood-ratios. Results show that the proposed approach outperforms all the rule-based fusion schemes.

  We aim to locate and provide a unique identifier for each mouse in a cluttered home-cage environment through time. This is a very challenging problem due to (i) the lack of distinguishing visual features for each mouse, and (ii) the close confines of the scene with constant occlusion. Our approach achieves 77% accuracy on this animal identification problem, and is able to reject spurious detections when the animals are hidden.
