TLDR
This work proposes the use of a graph structure to model the relationship between the biometric records in a database and shows the benefits of such a graph in deducing biographic labels of incomplete records, i.e. records that may have missing biographic information.
Abstract
A biometric system uses the physical or behavioural attributes of a person, such as face, fingerprint, iris or voice, to recognise an individual. Many operational biometric systems store the biographic information of an individual, viz., name, gender, age and ethnicity, besides the biometric data itself. Thus, the biometric record pertaining to an individual consists of both biometric data and biographic data. We propose the use of a graph structure to model the relationship between the biometric records in a database. We show the benefits of such a graph in deducing biographic labels of incomplete records, i.e. records that may have missing biographic information. In particular, we use a label propagation scheme to deduce missing values for both binary-valued biographic attributes (e.g. gender) as well as multi-valued biographic attributes (e.g. age group). Experimental results using face-based biometric records consisting of name, age, gender and ethnicity convey the pros and cons of the proposed method.

A comprehensive overview of biometric fusion

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of techniques incorporating ancillary information in the biometric recognition pipeline is presented in this paper, where the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the role of information fusion in biometrics.

MORPH: A Longitudinal Image Database of Normal Adult Age-Progression.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the problem of age-progression on face recognition (FR) is not unique to the algorithm used in this work, and the efficacy of this algorithm is evaluated against the variables of gender and racial origin.

A review of name-based ethnicity classification methods and their potential in population studies

TL;DR: Several approaches have been proposed to classify populations into ethnic groups using people's names, as an alternative to ethnicity self-identification information when this is not available as discussed by the authors, and a systematic review has been conducted of the most representative studies that develop new name-based ethnicity classifications, extracting methodological commonalities, achievements and shortcomings.

Integrating Faces, Fingerprints, and Soft Biometric Traits for User Recognition

TL;DR: A hybrid biometric system that uses face and fingerprint as the primary characteristics and gender, ethnicity, and height as the soft characteristics and results indicate that such a performance improvement can be achieved only if the soft biometric traits are complementary to the primaryBiometric traits.
