In order to improve biometric system performance,
information fusion becomes a key technique in multi-modal
biometric systems. Multi-modal biometric fusion is
conventionally divided into four levels: sensor level, feature
level, score level and decision level. In this paper, we propose
a supervised generalized canonical correlation (sg-CCA)
method to fuse soft biometric features. The experiments were
performed using a soft biometric database which contains the
human face, body and clothing traits at three different distances.
This paper describes the database and analyses the recognition
performance. Furthermore, it explores the potency of face,
body and clothing for human recognition using sg-CCA fusion
compared with other linear dimensionality reduction fusion
methods. The results demonstrate the superiority of soft
biometric fusion using sg-CCA method for human recognition.

Abstract

In order to improve biometric system performance,
information fusion becomes a key technique in multi-modal
biometric systems. Multi-modal biometric fusion is
conventionally divided into four levels: sensor level, feature
level, score level and decision level. In this paper, we propose
a supervised generalized canonical correlation (sg-CCA)
method to fuse soft biometric features. The experiments were
performed using a soft biometric database which contains the
human face, body and clothing traits at three different distances.
This paper describes the database and analyses the recognition
performance. Furthermore, it explores the potency of face,
body and clothing for human recognition using sg-CCA fusion
compared with other linear dimensionality reduction fusion
methods. The results demonstrate the superiority of soft
biometric fusion using sg-CCA method for human recognition.
