Abstract

A new approach of enlarging fused biometric databases is presented. Fusion strategies based upon matching score are applied on active biometrics verification scenarios. Consistent biometric data of two traits are used in test scenarios of handwriting and speaker verification. The fusion strategies are applied on multimodal biometrics of two different user types. The real users represent two biometric traits captured from one person. The virtual users are considered as the combination of two traits captured from two discrete users. These virtual users are implemented for database enlargement. In order to investigate the impact of these virtual users, test scenarios using three different semantics of handwriting and speech are accomplished. The results of fused handwriting and speech of exclusively real users and additional virtual users are compared and discussed.
