Probabilistic Fusion of Gait Features for Biometric Verification

Probabilistic Fusion of Gait Features for Biometric Verification
Probabilistic Fusion of Gait Features for Biometric Verification
This paper examines the fusion of various gait metrics in a probabilistic framework. Using three gait modalities we describe a process for determining probabilistic match scores using intra and inter-class variance models together with Bayes rule. We then propose to fuse these modalities based on established fusion rules with weights determined in a principled manner. Using a large publicly available database we show improvements through fusion, both in terms of verification accuracy and class separation; we also consider how the accuracy of each modality and the correlation between the modalities affects overall performance.

Abstract

This paper examines the fusion of various gait metrics in a probabilistic framework. Using three gait modalities we describe a process for determining probabilistic match scores using intra and inter-class variance models together with Bayes rule. We then propose to fuse these modalities based on established fusion rules with weights determined in a principled manner. Using a large publicly available database we show improvements through fusion, both in terms of verification accuracy and class separation; we also consider how the accuracy of each modality and the correlation between the modalities affects overall performance.
