Feature selection is the process of selecting the most salient features required for recognition. In many cases, this results in an increase in recognition accuracy. In this paper, we apply Genetic and Evolutionary Feature Selection with Machine Learning (GEFeSML) to author identification. We then introduce Genetic Heuristic Development (GHD), a process to improve the matching process. GHD uses subsets of features found by GEFeSML to create a high performing heuristic for feature selection. This technique successfully increases recognition accuracy while significantly reducing the number of features required for recognition.","PeriodicalId":286155,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Biometrics and Identity Management (CIBIM)","volume":"52 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134093358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extending it to other poses and in-plane rotated faces require separately trained classifiers which increases both the training and processing time. We solve this instead by developing a reference model that is capable of detecting upright faces in various poses. Then a probabilistic framework is used to estimate occurrence of in-plane rotated faces. Experimental results showed that the proposed approach can achieve face detection accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art approaches but returns more accurate in-plane rotation angle estimation and is much faster. Unlike other approaches, the proposed method is easy to train, requiring only a small number of images and only one manually labeled face image.","PeriodicalId":286155,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Biometrics and Identity Management (CIBIM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128941951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These non-idealities can modify the ridge pattern and reduce the visibility of the fingerprint details, thus decreasing the recognition accuracy. Some systems in the literature overcome this problem by computing three-dimensional models of the finger. Unfortunately, such approaches are usually based on complex and expensive acquisition setups, which limit their portability in consumer devices like mobile phones and tablets. In this paper, we present a novel approach able to recover perspective deformations and improper fingertip alignments in single camera systems. The approach estimates the orientation difference between two contactless fingerprint acquisitions by using neural networks, and permits to register the considered samples by applying the estimated rotation angle to a synthetic three-dimensional model of the finger surface. The generalization capability of neural networks offers a significant advantage by allowing processing a robust estimation of the orientation difference with a very limited need of computational resources with respect to traditional techniques. Experimental results show that the approach is feasible and can effectively enhance the recognition accuracy of single-camera biometric systems. On the evaluated dataset of 800 contactless images, the proposed method permitted to decrease the equal error rate of the used biometric system from 3.04% to 2.20%.","PeriodicalId":286155,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Biometrics and Identity Management (CIBIM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133006770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, growing attention has been paid to periocular recognition methods, on the performance levels they are able to achieve, and on the correlation of the responses given by other. This work overviews the most relevant research works in the scope of periocular recognition: summarizes the developed methods, and enumerates the current issues, providing a comparative overview.

The features used are the angular displacement walking trajectories of lower limbs. Also this paper proposes a gait cycle normalization task via Bezier polynomial root-finding and re-sampling to ensure a robust analysis against differences in walking speed. Two established classifiers, the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and k-nearest neighbor are used to classify the data sets of twins and non-twins siblings.
