Soft biometrics for subject identification using clothing attributes
Soft biometrics for subject identification using clothing attributes
Recently, soft biometrics has emerged as a novel attribute-based person description for identification. It is likely that soft biometrics can be deployed where other biometrics cannot, and have stronger invariance properties than vision-based biometrics, such as invariance to illumination and contrast. Previously, a variety of bodily soft biometrics has been used for identifying people. Describing a person by their clothing properties is a natural task performed by people. As yet, clothing descriptions have attracted little attention for identification purposes. There has been some usage of clothing attributes to augment biometric description, but a detailed description has yet to be used. We show here how clothing traits can be exploited for identification purposes. We explore the validity and usability of a set of proposed semantic attributes. Human identification is performed, evaluated and compared using different proposed forms of soft clothing traits in addition and in isolation.

Abstract
Recently, soft biometrics has emerged as a novel attribute-based person description for identification. It is likely that soft biometrics can be deployed where other biometrics cannot, and have stronger invariance properties than vision-based biometrics, such as invariance to illumination and contrast. Previously, a variety of bodily soft biometrics has been used for identifying people. Describing a person by their clothing properties is a natural task performed by people. As yet, clothing descriptions have attracted little attention for identification purposes. There has been some usage of clothing attributes to augment biometric description, but a detailed description has yet to be used. We show here how clothing traits can be exploited for identification purposes. We explore the validity and usability of a set of proposed semantic attributes. Human identification is performed, evaluated and compared using different proposed forms of soft clothing traits in addition and in isolation.
