Abstract

As one of non-contact biometric way for user authentication system of partner robots, visual-based recognition methods still suffer from the disturbance of light noise in the applications. Inspiring from the human's capability of compensating visual information (looking) with audio information(hearing), a visual-audio integrating method is proposed to reduce the disturbance of light noise and to improve the recognition accuracy. Combining with the PCA-based face recognition, a two-stage speaker recognition algorithm is used to extract useful personal identity information from speech signals. With the measurement of visual background noise, the visual-audio integrating method is performed to draw the final decision. The proposed method is evaluated on a public visual-audio dataset VidTIMIT and a partner robot authentication system. The results verified the visual-audio integrating method can obtain satisfied recognition results with strong robustness.
