Unified Representations of Multimodal Biometrics for Robust Authentication and Identification

我们提出了两种基于两种新的统一的多模态生物特征表征的生物识别系统。这些系统将减少与身份、信用卡交易、ATM取款有关的欺诈行为，对国民经济产生巨大的潜在影响。统计数据显示，在美国、英国和澳大利亚，这类欺诈行为正在急剧增加。我们的系统也将有政府应用，并将影响与移民、护照和驾驶执照控制有关的国家安全领域。法医应用包括刑事鉴定、犯罪现场调查和尸体鉴定（如2004年亚洲海啸受害者的情况）。

We propose two biometric systems based on two novel unified multimodal biometric representations. These systems will have a great potential impact on the national economy by reducing frauds related to identity, credit card transactions, and ATM withdrawals. Statistics show that these types of frauds are dramatically increasing in the U.S.A., the U.K., and Australia. Our systems will also have government applications and will impact on the national security in areas related to immigration, passport and driver's license controls. Forensic applications include criminal identification, crime scene investigation and corpse identification (as in the case of the victims of the Asian tsunami 2004).
