Abstract
Multi-biometrics is a solution which is sought to overcome functional and security deficiency in a baseline biometric configuration. In this paper, we propose a multi-biometrics scheme and we apply the cross validation between two databases to study the Equal Error Rate improvement of score level fusion. Our fusion function is constructed using an evolutionary GA on the XM2VTS score database. The best one is tested on a sub-sequence of the BioSecure Score database. As this database offers quality measurement, we transform our function into a weighted function with user-specific approach to study performance enhancement with quality integration. The results are significantly improved with a high confidence and quality measurement becomes inherent to reduce recognition errors.

Notes
- 1.
XM2VTS is score database built with Lausanne Protocol and based on Face and speech [18].
- 2.
Template is the data sample used to represent the claimed identity and Query is the sample obtained from the <true ID>.
