Title:	FUSION OF TALKING FACE BIOMETRIC MODALITIES FOR PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION
Authors:	Ulises Ramos Sanchez, Josef Kittler, University of Surrey, United Kingdom
Abstract:	We describe a personal identity verification system based on lip dynamics biometric. The lip shape is represented in terms of a B-spline model, tracked over time. The coordinates of the 11 control points of the B-spline model are used as features for each frame. An utterance consisting of N frames produces a sequence of 22 dimensional feature vectors that is matched to the template using dynamic time warping. The verification error rate achieved by the system on the XM2VTS database is about 14%. By fusing the system with face and voice biometrics the error rate is reduced to a fraction of one percent.
