Title: Fusion Technologies in Biometric Recognition
Abstract: Fusion in biometric recognition can have many benefits, including higher accuracy, improved availability, higher degree of freedom, less susceptible to spoof attacks, higher robustness. Fusion can be performed at image level, feature level, score level, decision level. This speech compares the advantages and disadvantages of fusions at different levels. In addition, this speech introduces some SOTA fusion technologies in hand biometrics, which can be flexibly extended and transplanted to other biometric modalities and tasks of computer vision, such as pattern recognition and image analysis.
