TL;DR: The resting state with closed eyes acquisition protocol has been here used and deeply investigated by varying the employed electrodes configuration both in number and location for optimizing the recognition performance still guaranteeing sufficient user convenience.
Abstract: In this paper EEG signals are employed for the purpose of automatic user recognition. Specifically the resting state with closed eyes acquisition protocol has been here used and deeply investigated by varying the employed electrodes configuration both in number and location for optimizing the recognition performance still guaranteeing sufficient user convenience. A database of 45 healthy subjects has been employed in the analysis. Autoregressive stochastic modeling and polynomial regression based classification has been applied to extracted brain rhythms in order to identify the most distinctive contributions of the different subbands in the recognition process. Our analysis has shown that significantly high recognition rates, up to 98.73%, can be achievedwhen using proper triplets of electrodes,which cannot be achieved by employing couple of electrodes,whereas sets of five electrodes in the central posterior region of the scalp can guarantee very high recognition performance while limiting user convenience.

TL;DR: How the fields of biometrics and forensic science can contribute and benefit from each other is described to foster the development of new methods and tools improving the current forensic biometric applications and allowing for the creation of new ones.
Abstract: This article describes how the fields of biometrics and forensic science can contribute and benefit from each other. The aim is to foster the development of new methods and tools improving the current forensic biometric applications and allowing for the creation of new ones. The article begins with a definition and a summary of the development in forensic biometrics. Then it describes the data and biometric modalities of interest in forensic science and the forensic applications embedding biometric technology. On this basis it describes the solutions and limitations of the current practice regarding the data, the technology and the inference models. Finally, it proposes research orientations for the improvement of the current forensic biometric applications and suggests some ideas for the development of some new forensic biometric applications

TL;DR: In this article, a local expert forest model for meta-level score fusion for event detection is proposed, where performance variations of classifiers in different regions of a score space can be adapted.
Abstract: Multiple classifiers can be applied independently to evaluate images or video. Where there are heavily imbalanced class distributions, a local expert forest model for meta-level score fusion for event detection can be used. Performance variations of classifiers in different regions of a score space can be adapted. Multiple pairs of experts based on different partitions, or “trees,” can form a “forest,” balancing local adaptivity and over-fitting. Among ensemble learning methods, stacking with a meta-level classifier can be used to fuse an output of multiple base-level classifiers to generate a final score. A knowledge-transfer framework can reutilize the base-training data for learning the meta-level classifier. By recycling the knowledge obtained during a base-classifier-training stage, efficient use can be made of all available information, such as can be used to achieve better fusion and better overall performance.

TL;DR: This paper formulates an evidence-theoretic multimodal unification approach using belief functions that take into account the variability in biometric image characteristics that is computationally efficient, and the verification accuracy is not compromised even when conflicting decisions are encountered.
Abstract: This paper formulates an evidence-theoretic multimodal unification approach using belief functions that takes into account the variability in biometric image characteristics. While processing non-ideal images the variation in the quality of features at different levels of abstraction may cause individual classifiers to generate conflicting genuine-impostor decisions.
