However, most of the previous works on ECG biometrics dealt with more than five ECG pulses at once, which will require at least a few seconds to acquire. Moreover, many of them investigated classification systems that require ECG signals of many people for effective dimensionality reduction methods such as PCA or for powerful classifiers such as SVM. In this article, we consider fast responding, small scale authentication systems (e.g., wearable devices). We investigate the feasibility of using a single pulse ECG for authentication assuming that there is no access to others' ECG signals. Multiple ECG pulses are allowed only in the enrollment stage. We propose to use guided filter (GF) to reduce noise of a single ECG pulse using a low noise ECG template from the enrollment step. We employed simple distance measures such as Euclidean distance and dynamic time warping (DTW) for small scale authentication system and compared them with PCA based authentication system using others' ECG information. We evaluated our proposed methods with public ECGID database (89 subjects, selected 2 records per subject that were collected on the same day). Performance measures were used such as inter/intra distance ratio (IIDR), area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and equal error rate (EER). GF improved the performance of simple user authentication systems with Euclidean distance and DTW substantially. The Euclidean distance with GF achieved comparable authentication performance with PCA based method using other people's ECG information (EER = 2.4%).","PeriodicalId":308715,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"358 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133644596","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}

Consequently, it is necessary to get an effective and discriminative fingerprint feature binary representation. In this paper, we firstly analyze the characteristic of Minutia Cylinder Code (MCC) representation to find that it is strongly bit-correlated and with a lossy binary quantization. Accordingly, we propose an optimization model to learn a feature projection matrix resulting in dimensionality reduction as well as diminishing quantization loss. Eventually, the real-valued version of MCC is learnt to get Compact Binary Minutia Cylinder Code (CBMCC) with balanced independent property and minimal binary quantization loss. The performance test shows that CBMCC is effective and discriminative as it has maximum intra-bit variance while minimum inter-bit correlation. Furthermore, numerous experiments on public databases demonstrate that CBMCC is advantageous for fingerprint retrieval since it achieves a high correct index performance with a fairly low penetration rate.","PeriodicalId":308715,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130240047","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}

This research proposes a two fold contribution for advancing the state-of-art in recognizing face images with variations caused due to substance abuse: firstly, scattering transform (ScatNet) based face recognition algorithm is proposed. The algorithm yields good results however, it is very expensive in terms of the computational time and space. Therefore, as the next contribution, an autoencoder-style mapping function (AutoScat) is proposed that learns to encode the ScatNet representation of a face image to reduce the computation time. The results are evaluated on the publicly available Illicit Drug Abuse Face database. The results show that ScatNet based face recognition algorithm outperforms two commercial matchers. Further, compared with ScatNet, AutoScat is able to achieve lower rank-1 accuracy but requires 10-3 times lesser computational requirements and around 400 times smaller feature space.","PeriodicalId":308715,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130419423","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}

The framework adopts coarse-to-fine strategy to localize different boundaries. In the approach, pupil is coarsely detected using an iterative search method exploiting dynamic thresholding and multiple local cues. The limbic boundary is first approximated in polar space using adaptive filters and then refined in Cartesian space. The framework is quite robust and unlike the previously reported works, does not require tuning of parameters for different databases. The segmentation accuracy (SA) is evaluated using well known measures; precision, recall and F-measure, using the publicly available ground truth data for challenging iris databases; CASIAV4-Interval, ND-IRIS-0405, and IITD. In addition, the approach is also evaluated on highly challenging periocular images of FOCS database. The validity of proposed framework is also ascertained by providing comprehensive comparisons with classical approaches as well as state-of-the-art methods such as; CAHT, WAHET, IFFP, GST and Osiris v4.1. The results demonstrate that our approach provides significant improvements in segmentation accuracy as well as in recognition performance that too with lower computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":308715,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128334218","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}

To address this problem, we conducted experiments on RAF-DB using several proposed imbalanced learning methods.

In case of national-sized databases a one-to-many comparison might still represent a bottleneck of a biometric identification system, in particular if numerous relative tilt angles have to be considered in the comparisons stage. While a compensation of head tilts improves the robustness of an iris recognition system, extensive feature alignment increases the probability of a false match as well as comparison time. In this paper we present a novel method to accelerate iris biometric comparators in an accuracy-preserving way. Emphasis is put on the alignment of iris biometric reference data, i.e. iris-codes. Based on an analysis of the nature of iris-codes and comparison scores between them we propose an efficient two-step alignment process referred to as TripleA. This scheme, which can be operated in various modes, significantly reduces the amount of relative tilt angles to be considered during iris-code comparisons. Hence, comparison time as well as the probability of a false match are reduced at the same time. In an experimental evaluation on the Casia v4-Interval iris database we achieve a more than fourfold speed-up in the comparison stage maintaining biometric performance using different feature extraction techniques.","PeriodicalId":308715,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114392438","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}
