On co-training online biometric classifiers (original) (raw)
2011
In an operational biometric verification system, changes in biometric data over a period of time can affect the classification accuracy. Online learning has been used for updating the classifier decision boundary. However, this requires labeled data that is only available during new enrolments. This paper presents a biometric classifier update algorithm in which the classifier decision boundary is updated using both labeled enrolment instances and unlabeled probe in- stances. The proposed co-training online classifier update algorithm is presented as a semi-supervised learning task and is applied to a face verification application. Experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm improves the performance both in terms of classification accuracy and computational time.

Abstract In large scale applications, hundreds of new subjects may be regularly enrolled in a biometric system. To account for the variations in data distribution caused by these new enrollments, biometric systems require regular re-training which usually results in a very large computational overhead. This paper formally introduces the concept of online learning in biometrics. We demonstrate its application in classifier update algorithms to re-train classifier decision boundaries.
