    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    This paper presents an efficient human recognition system based on vein
    pattern from the palma dorsa. A new absorption based technique has been
    proposed to collect good quality images with the help of a low cost camera and
    light source. The system automatically detects the region of interest from the
    image and does the necessary preprocessing to extract features. A Euclidean
    Distance based matching technique has been used for making the decision.

    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    This paper presents a robust and dynamic face recognition technique based on
    the extraction and matching of devised probabilistic graphs drawn on SIFT
    features related to independent face areas. The face matching strategy is based
    on matching individual salient facial graph characterized by SIFT features as
    connected to facial landmarks such as the eyes and the mouth. In order to
    reduce the face matching errors, the Dempster-Shafer decision theory is applied
    to fuse the individual matching scores obtained from each pair of salient
    facial features.

  3. Feature Level Fusion of Face and Palmprint Biometrics by Isomorphic Graph-based Improved K-Medoids Partitioning.

    Authors: Dakshina Ranjan Kisku, Jamuna Kanta Sing, Phalguni Gupta
    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    This paper presents a feature level fusion approach which uses the improved
    K-medoids clustering algorithm and isomorphic graph for face and palmprint
    biometrics. Partitioning around medoids (PAM) algorithm is used to partition
    the set of n invariant feature points of the face and palmprint images into k
    clusters. By partitioning the face and palmprint images with scale invariant
    features SIFT points, a number of clusters is formed on both the images. Then
    on each cluster, an isomorphic graph is drawn.

  4. Offline Signature Identification by Fusion of Multiple Classifiers using Statistical Learning Theory.

    Authors: Dakshina Ranjan Kisku, Jamuna Kanta Sing, Phalguni Gupta
    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    This paper uses Support Vector Machines (SVM) to fuse multiple classifiers
    for an offline signature system. From the signature images, global and local
    features are extracted and the signatures are verified with the help of
    Gaussian empirical rule, Euclidean and Mahalanobis distance based classifiers.
    SVM is used to fuse matching scores of these matchers.

  5. Robust multi-camera view face recognition.

    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    This paper presents multi-appearance fusion of Principal Component Analysis
    (PCA) and generalization of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) for multi-camera
    view offline face recognition (verification) system. The generalization of LDA
    has been extended to establish correlations between the face classes in the
    transformed representation and this is called canonical covariate.

  6. Face Recognition by Fusion of Local and Global Matching Scores using DS Theory: An Evaluation with Uni-classifier and Multi-classifier Paradigm.

    Authors: Dakshina Ranjan Kisku, Jamuna Kanta Sing, Phalguni Gupta, Massimo Tistarelli
    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    Faces are highly deformable objects which may easily change their appearance
    over time. Not all face areas are subject to the same variability. Therefore
    decoupling the information from independent areas of the face is of paramount
    importance to improve the robustness of any face recognition technique. This
    paper presents a robust face recognition technique based on the extraction and
    matching of SIFT features related to independent face areas. Both a global and
    local (as recognition from parts) matching strategy is proposed.

    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    This paper proposes an efficient technique for partitioning large biometric
    database during identification. In this technique feature vector which
    comprises of global and local descriptors extracted from offline signature are
    used by fuzzy clustering technique to partition the database. As biometric
    features posses no natural order of sorting, thus it is difficult to index them
    alphabetically or numerically. Hence, some supervised criteria is required to
    partition the search space.

  8. SIFT-based Ear Recognition by Fusion of Detected Keypoints from Color Similarity Slice Regions.

    Authors: Dakshina Ranjan Kisku, Hunny Mehrotra, Jamuna Kanta Sing, Phalguni Gupta
    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    Ear biometric is considered as one of the most reliable and invariant
    biometrics characteristics in line with iris and fingerprint characteristics.
    In many cases, ear biometrics can be compared with face biometrics regarding
    many physiological and texture characteristics. In this paper, a robust and
    efficient ear recognition system is presented, which uses Scale Invariant
    Feature Transform (SIFT) as feature descriptor for structural representation of
    ear images.

  9. Feature Level Fusion of Biometrics Cues: Human Identification with Doddingtons Caricature.

    Authors: Dakshina Ranjan Kisku, Jamuna Kanta Sing, Phalguni Gupta
    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    This paper presents a multimodal biometric system of fingerprint and ear
    biometrics. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptor based feature
    sets extracted from fingerprint and ear are fused. The fused set is encoded by
    K-medoids partitioning approach with less number of feature points in the set.
    K-medoids partition the whole dataset into clusters to minimize the error
    between data points belonging to the clusters and its center. Reduced feature
    set is used to match between two biometric sets.

    SVM is used to fuse matching scores of these matchers.

  11. SVM-based Multiview Face Recognition by Generalization of Discriminant Analysis.

    Authors: Dakshina Ranjan Kisku, Hunny Mehrotra, Jamuna Kanta Sing, Phalguni Gupta
    Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
    Abstract

    Identity verification of authentic persons by their multiview faces is a real
    valued problem in machine vision. Multiview faces are having difficulties due
    to non-linear representation in the feature space. This paper illustrates the
    usability of the generalization of LDA in the form of canonical covariate for
    face recognition to multiview faces. In the proposed work, the Gabor filter
    bank is used to extract facial features that characterized by spatial
    frequency, spatial locality and orientation.
