Soft multi-modal data fusion

چکیده
Clustering groups items together that are most similar to each other and sets those that are least similar into different clusters. Methods have been developed to cluster records in a data set that are of only qualitative or quantitative data. Data sets exist that contain a mix of qualitative (nominal and ordinal) and quantitative (discrete and continuous) data. Clustering records of mixed kinds of data is a difficult problem. A metric to measure the similarity between records of mixed data types is needed. Once a clustering is found, we do not know how to best evaluate the quality of the clustering when there is a mixture of data varieties.

Robust Multi-modal and Multi-unit Feature Level Fusion of Face and Iris Biometrics
Multi-biometrics has recently emerged as a mean of more robust and efficient personal verification and identification. Exploiting information from multiple sources at various levels i.e., feature, score, rank or decision, the false acceptance and rejection rates can be considerably reduced. Among all, feature level fusion is relatively an understudied problem. This paper addresses the feature l...
متن کاملInformation Fusion and Person Authentication Using Face and Fingerprint Data
This paper describes the integration of face and fingerprint data to improve the performance of a person identity verification system. In the conetxt of multi-modal person authentication, a set of experts give their opinion as a scalar number, called score, about the identity of an individual. A fusion module receiving as input the scores has to take a binary decision: accept or reject the clai...
متن کاملEffective Fusion of Multi-Modal Remote Sensing Data in a Fully Convolutional Network for Semantic Labeling
In recent years, Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) have led to a great improvement of semantic labeling for various applications including multi-modal remote sensing data. Although different fusion strategies have been reported for multi-modal data, there is no in-depth study of the reasons of performance limits. For example, it is unclear, why an early fusion of multi-modal data in FCN does n...

متن کاملA Contribution to Multi-Modal Identity Verification Using Decision Fusion
The contribution of this paper is to compare paradigms coming from the classes of parametric, and non-parametric techniques to solve the decision fusion problem encountered in the design of a multi-modal biometrical identity verification system. The multi-modal identity verification system under consideration is built of d modalities in parallel, each one delivering as output a scalar number, c...
