Abstract:

Nowadays, with the increasing use of biometric data, it is expected that systems work robustly and they can give successful results against difficult situations and forgery. In face recognition systems, variables such as direction of light, facial expression and reflection makes identification difficult. With biometric fusion, both safe and high performance results can be achieved. In this work, Eurocom Kinect Face dataset and BodyLogin Gesture Silhouettes dataset are used to create a virtual dataset and they were fused with score level. For face database, VGG Face deep learning model was used as feature extractor and energy imaging method was used for extracting gesture features. Afterwards the features reduced by principal component analysis and similarity scores were produced with standard deviation Euclidean distance. The results show that face recognition achieved a high performance with deep learning features under different light and expression conditions, however, multi-biometric results have reached higher genuine match rate (GMR) performance and lower false acceptance rate (FAR). As a result of this process, gesture energy imaging can be used for person recognition and for multi biometric data.
