Book Synopsis Biometric Authentication by : Sun Yuan Kung
Download or read book Biometric Authentication written by Sun Yuan Kung. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breakthrough approach to improving biometrics performanceConstructing robust information processing systems for face and voice recognitionSupporting high-performance data fusion in multimodal systemsAlgorithms, implementation techniques, and application examples Machine learning: driving significant improvements in biometric performance As they improve, biometric authentication systems are becoming increasingly indispensable for protecting life and property. This book introduces powerful machine learning techniques that significantly improve biometric performance in a broad spectrum of application domains. Three leading researchers bridge the gap between research, design, and deployment, introducing key algorithms as well as practical implementation techniques. They demonstrate how to construct robust information processing systems for biometric authentication in both face and voice recognition systems, and to support data fusion in multimodal systems. Coverage includes: How machine learning approaches differ from conventional template matchingTheoretical pillars of machine learning for complex pattern recognition and classificationExpectation-maximization (EM) algorithms and support vector machines (SVM)Multi-layer learning models and back-propagation (BP) algorithmsProbabilistic decision-based neural networks (PDNNs) for face biometricsFlexible structural frameworks for incorporating machine learning subsystems in biometric applicationsHierarchical mixture of experts and inter-class learning strategies based on class-based modular networksMulti-cue data fusion techniques that integrate face and voice recognitionApplication case studies
